Razuni Sultanate

The Razuni Sultanate is a nation located in the southern regions of Eldham. It is an absolute theocratic monarchy, with the head of the government being the Sultan. It's official religion is that of Salranism, and the current Sultan is Indo.

History
The capital city, Al-Razun, was founded May 31st, 2021 by Bashar Razud, (IGN: KingTheodin756). He discovered an ideal spot near an ocean monument and settled down and established the first city of the nation. Early in the construction of Al-Razun, it was plagued by bandits who in multiple times attacked the developing small town. Although the problem was quite troublesome, it would come to an end after a short battle between Razuni forces and the bandits hordes. A period afterwards, a wall was constructed around the entirety of the now city.

The Razuni Sultanate soon grew in power and numbers, and conquered a large amount of territory around itself. Within this territory there was the towns of Osgiliath and Hermonia. Osgiliath would join the Razuni Sultanate as one of its town, and after some negotiation with the leader of Hermonia, Zacata the Slimecatking  (IGN: MasterJetRocks) , Hermonia would became a vassal state of the nation.

On June 18th, both the nation and its vassal would join the Counter Coup Coalition (CCC), which also included, the UBSR, and the Aionios Impervia. On the 22nd, the Razuni Sultanate formed a defensive pact known as the Southern Guard Bloc (SGB) along with Wandenreich, Neubaykonia, and the USSE.

The First Wars
The first war the Sultanate would take place in was the The Kunir War. Being both members of the ARS and having a defensive alliance with the USSE, they felt it was their duty to protect their ally from what seemed like an imperialistic power and threat. Razuni soldiers would gather what few sets of enchanted gears and weapons they had (stealing some from other citizens in the process) and made their way to Port Crelov. Before the battle even began, one of the Razuni soldiers would be stricken down during a sneak attack. Due to the server restarting and connection issues most of the soldiers would be unable to join the fight. It seemed that the server restarting was a blessing because of the immediate bloodbath that took place afterwards. Because of the absolute defeat in defending their ally, the Razuni Sultanate would attempt to stay away from foreign affairs and focus on internal affairs.

However, this shift towards internal affairs would have to wait. Skjoldrbrodir would reach out to the Razuni Sultanate only 2 days later in help defeating the Limurians. After an unanimous vote by the House of Nobles, the Razuni Sultanate would join in assisting Skjoldrbrodir. However, because the nation was still recovering from the last battle, only Bashar Razud and Malar R. Blackwood were able to assist in the war. During the battle of Steinborg, they would in total defeat 3 enemies, and gained a good amount of loot. Razuni forces would not only assist in defending Steinborg, but would make their way to the Limurian capital and do some looting. This battle was a decisive victory and raised morale throughout the Razuni Sultanate.

The Medena Emergency
After the adoption of democracy in Medena the government slowly began to destabilize. The situation worsened to the point where the monarchist party leader Silver came to the sultan for aid in the overthrowing of the government. Luis Von de Hotin, a new politician in the Razuni Sultanate, took over the case and begun organizing the collaborators. Soon he took over the Monarchist Party and gather support for a popular coup. After the bloodless coup d'etat, named "The Medena Emergency", of the nation, the mad Lehelium Party led by HentaiSlr69 and Memeruler, choose to leave the nation. This also made the leader of the Libertarians, Myckul, to leave. The then Sultan of Al-Razun, KingTheoden756, decreed that the province could elect an emir to rule over it that would answer to the sultan, and that the people of Medena would be Razuni citizens with all of the same rights and responsibilities including freedom of religion, freedom of press, and freedom of speech. And as of July 20th 2021 the Province of Medena would become part of the Razuni sultanate as a integrated province.

Brenran Integration
Just before the Razuni Sultanate would integrate the Province of Medena, the town of Hermonia was struggling in terms of money and population attraction, and Malar R. Blackwood (IGN : High_Monarch) felt that it would be best in Zacata the Slimecatking's (IGN : MasterJetRocks) interests for the town to be fully integrated into the Razuni Sultanate, meaning their government would be forced to give Hermonia full support. In this integration, Zacata would become Emir of a few other islands in the creation of a new, special province; called the State of Brenra, which included the islands of Hermonia, Aera and Agon-Shar. The Brenran integration happened on the 18th of July 2021.

The Mass Robbery
Starting on the 21st of August 2021, the Razuni Sultanate was one of the many targets of mass robbery. Emir Kahuna Razud Bacardi (IGN: Big_Kahuna__) was the loudest to voice his complaints about this; between noble figures, telling every noble what has appeared to have been stolen. A professional court and investigation unit was set up by and of some of the nobles to prosecute the guilty as a result of the mass robbery that happened.

Entrance Into the Zamotz Union
On the 14th of August, Alaina Mapi; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, made negotiations with the Zamotz Union to start a trial period in joining them, Indo agreed to the trial period as well. After 2 weeks; the trial period time, it was confirmed that the Razuni Sultanate would fully join the Zamotz Union, but like the other nations, be autonomous. This action was taken to ensure more cooperation and participation on both sides than before.

Government
The government of the Razuni Sultanate is that of an absolute theocratic monarchy. It is currently ruled by the Razud Dynasty, with Bashar Razud acting as the Sultan. Underneath the Sultan is the Royal Court, a group of trusted advisors who help guide and assist the Sultan in affairs of state. However, the Sultan has final say on all matters. The Sultanate is split into multiple provinces, each governed by an Emir or Emira. underneath the Emir or Emira are the Sayidis or Sayidas, who are town owners within each province.
