Alokhrad

Alokhrad is a Nation located on the east coast of Haven and is a sovereign state of the Second Empire of Uldarash. The nation was founded by Gamerblox2077 and is ruled by the Sultan, currently Al-Surii (Gamerblox2077).

The Alokhradi National Motto it "Nalva Piroa Ahn Adwii Icaz" which when roughly translated means "From our Wastes to our grasslands!" But the true meaning is "From our Wastes and Grasslands we shall remain!"

Geography
Alokhrad is comprised out of two biomes; the first is a mostly arid, barren, desert area that covers a majority of the land. The second biome is a mostly grassy area, which is where the capital is located. This is the most populated area, with smaller numbers in the desert biome.

Founding
Alokhrad was once part of the Holy Chevkri Empire but due to various causes or will to hold onto the territory, the province separated from the Chevkri Republic, claimed its sovereignty and declared itself a new state in the Second Empire of Uldarash and was officially recognized by Emperors of Uldarash Canine14.

The First Coup
What would be referred to as the "First Coup" would begin in May the 16th 2021: When the Governor of Alokhrads first town, known as South Sands Yusef Razim, was elected as Councillor, he had begun to prepare for a coup against Al-Surii for various reasons. The day after he had declared the coup overnight. After it was declared and Al-Surii found out, he immediately sent word to Uldarash asking for aid. The Chevkri were the first to respond and ultimately when they arrived Uldarash backed Al-Surii. Yusef Razim and his supporters vanished after negotiations, never to be seen again.

The Induction of Astrova
Due to no Governor being around for South Sands it fell into disrepair and was abandoned while the planned city which had yet to be built was rushed and named Eraqat. A man by the name Draer Sterre and Setima, his friend, had built a town unknowingly on Alokhradi soil. Upon hearing, Al-Surii offered to let them continue building their city in the ruins of Astrova, on the condition they join Alokhrad. Upon getting the letter and holding a referendum they agreed to stay and join the nation. Astrova quickly grew and prospered.

Efforts to Transition into Democracy
After growing bored, Al-Surii agreed to on paper reform Alokhrad into a Democracy. But in reality, it was a dictatorship. After a while and growing even more bored, Al-Surii had stepped down as Prime Minister and allowed for true Democracy to happen. The elections begun. Just as that happened he transferred Eraqat to an Alokhradi, known as LL6, who would transfer it subsequently to another citizen known as Reeeeee1245, who was running for Prime Minister. That's when the second coups seeds would be planted.

The Second Coup
After the election began, it was apparent that Reeeeee1245, one of the candidates, would turn into a dictator. He suggested forced labour for all criminals, promoted slavery to a degree, and was a militant.

After seeing the election results ahead of time, he was outraged that he wouldn't win. As that happened, he gathered his supporters and declared a coup. They had ownership of Eraqat and most of the treasury and armoury. After hearing this, Al-Surii came out of retirement and immediately requested Uldarash to send a force to stop the coup. This happened, and the force travelled to Meramhold in Chevkri, where Al-Surii would guide the force to Alokhrad and relieve the besieged Alokhradi Loyalists in Astrova. After that, the Alokhradi Loyalists and Uldarashi force combed the desert and then travelled to Eraqat to take the city back and reinstall Al-Surii as Prime Minister. He was subsequently assumed emergency authority.

See Battle of Eraqat.

Return to Monarchism
After a few years Al-Surii and his adopted Son Aetamos put up a referendum to reinstate the Monarchy which ultimately succeeded due to it being a more tried and tested method of rule in Alokhrad. As a result, the Prime Minister was renamed to Grand Vizier and lost most of its authority while the executive authority would be transferred to the Sultan. Nevertheless, t was not an end to democracy in Alokhrad.
