Kartek

General Overview
The Kartek Diarchy was a continuation state of both the Holy Tzardom of Greater Arxella and the large nomadic nation of the Gertek Horde. The nation was situated on the northern coast of the eastern continent of Sparwood, with the nation holding two capitals, Vosokogrod (the Western Arxellan Capital) and Gortovar (the Eastern Gertek Capital), with each respective centers being led by the respective rulers of the diarchy. The Kartek Diarchy was at the time of its dissolution bordered by three states: to the northwest, Escharia, to the west, Vraelea, and to the south, the Frosterium,

The Kartek Diarchy went by a multitude of names, including the Kartek Horde and the Kartek Khanaganate.

The nation was styled with a mix of both Western Europe medieval themes and themes of various cultures of the Eurasian Steppe. This mix of theming also included its Government, with the Leader of Arxella holding the title of Tzar, while the leader of the Gertek Horde held the title of Khan. The nation's name, Kartek, comes from a combination of the names of the predecessor states, Arxella and Gertek. The official language of the nation was Travelers Tongue, the most widely spoken language in Rathnir.

The Kartek Diarchy was a protectorate of the Soleàn Irastre de et Escharii, and was since its formation. The nation was on tense terms with the majority of its neighbors, in what it considered to be a cold war with the Frosterium.

After the Diarchy was dissolved, much of the nation was annexed by the Frosterium. This collapse maked the beginning of a long period of instability in the region. Eventually, the efforts of terrorist organization called the Kartek Loyalist Army led to the formation of the Kartek Federation, which held most of the territory the Diarchy did. However, the Federation was short lived, collapsing when a coalition of enemies from the inside and outside carved its territory up.

After this second major collapse, what was left of the nation was reformed into the Kartek Caliphate. Eventually, the Reformed Tzardom of Arxella and the Kingdom of Rohel decided to rejoin the Caliphate. However, due to the militarism of the Caliphate, they both quickly left the new Kartek successor state.

By this time, Kartek had been reduced to the provence of Buktenfjall. However, the nation became a vassel of the Empire of Aldovir, reannexed Arxella, and restored much of its international prestige.

Formation of the Kartek Diarchy
[Date: August 4th, 2021]

The Arxellans and the Gertek nomads were on the 'brink of war', due to the Arxellans discovering the Gertek camp Gortovar, however luckily both sides decided that it would be both sides mutual interests, to avoid a destructive war. Which could destroy both 'nations'. with them deciding to form anocratic, nation called the Kartek Diarchy where the Gerek Khan and the Tzar of Arxella hold equal power, and where there is a High Council to break political deadlock. This High Council would later consist of five people, the Minister of War appointed by the Tzar of Arxella, the Minister of Religion appointed by the Gertek Khan, and three elected officials from the general public.

Kartek Secession Crisis
[Duration: August 9th, 2021 - August 15th, 2021]

Due to sharing poor relations with much of Northern Sparwood, including Frosmyre and the Union of Burgamerian Socialist Republics, Arxella, the main precursor state to Kartek, was forced to find foreign support during a previous diplomatic crisis prior to the existence of the Gertek Horde. Niedea (later Escharia) become their overlord to protect them from their destruction, with Arxella gaining autonomy over a while, and later becoming a protectorate. After the Kartek Crisis, where Matthew Edishield, told Escharia about Kartek's independence plot to save Arxella's culture, Kartek accepted a deal offered by Iksare Valerian Iuris Aesperii where Kartek would gain significant autonomy.

The Kartek Intervention in the Simulami Civil War
[Date: September 4th, 2021]

Prior to the Battle of Silva, Ferro Smark would lead a Kartek volunteer forces to assist in the defense of the City of Silva to aid Cadexii whom had maintained great long-term relations with the Kartek Diarchy. However once the Volunteer force had arrived to Silva, they were shocked to arrive to a empty city, absence of defenders and residents. It had became clear after further investigation that Cadexii and his supporters had fled the city with all they could carry, knowing the outcome of the upcoming conflict. Not wanting to risk the lives of his forces to defend a city whose residents had seemingly given up to their Invaders, Ferro Smark, issued the order of evacuation of their volunteer forces from the city, shortly after their withdrawal and departure they would officially recognize ZenoHUH as the Sole Monarch of the Simulami Empire.

The Kartek Incursions into Vraelea
[Duration: September 9th, 2021 - September 12th, 2021]

Following the exile of Choochie (a.k.a. Cube) from his home Nation of Vraelea on [31-08-2021] for choosing to become a Citizen of the Kartek Diarchy. He would go into exile to the Kartek Diarchy, where he was welcomed in with open arms. However the Kartek Diarchy perceived the act of exiling their new-made friend based on the reasoning of Choochie as a injustice and another one of their many "nefarious crimes" in the Vraelean Leadership. This and several coinciding events that lead to the Diarchy on September 9th to send an ultimatum to the Lotus State of Vraelea to either make Choochie the Leader of Vraelea or they will force the hand of the Diarchy in enforcing Choochie bid to claim Vraelea "to ensure the guaranteed prosperity of the Lotus State".

Vraelea response as expected was considered unsatisfactory to the Diarchy, Which led to them to form up a small expeditionary force comprising of around 9 soldiers with Tzar Ferro at the helm on September 9th 2021, heading into the State to directly once again offer the ultimatum, the Expeditionary Force was not met with resistance as they marched into the City of Vraelea, with only two of the residents upon seeing the Forces approach opted to fall back and hold up in Lotus Castle. In effect allowing for the expeditionary force to surround and lay siege at the Heart of the Vraelean Capital.

The two opposing sides would exchange blows, and kills with one another, with the expeditionary force managing to briefly breach into castle before pulling back, The expeditionary force then regrouped at the castle entrance, however unbeknownst to them, The Vraelean has set a premade trap at the entrance, As a 'fail safe ' which they activated when a large majority of the force was congregated at the entrance, which sent 5 of out of 9 tumbling down to a pit of wither roses, with 3 managing to escape from the trap, with only two causalities in the pit, the remaining 4 who did not fall into the Trap would fall back into Kartek territory, thereby ending the first brief Kartek incursion into Vraelean lands.

Following the events of the first Incursion into Vraelea it would later be revealed that Choochie had been a traitor to the Kartek Diarchy and had been exiled by Vraelea as a rouse to plant a informant inside Kartek to rally up the people to invade Vraelea as the aggressor in the conflict on September 12, 2021,

With the uncovering of this revelation, Choochie would be banished from the Kartek Diarchy in a 'somewhat ironic turn of events', with him retreating to the safety of Vraelea, with the Tsar, and his forces rallying at Vosokogrod for a second incursion in retaliation of this perceived act of "treachery", despite this the Kartek Diarchy wished to settle this in a open field battle, with both sides coming to an agreement of such, and further agreeing that no territorial acquisitions will take place for whomever was the victor.

However as Kartek forces moved into the chosen destination of the open battle, with their forces they would be met by a ambush by the Choochie and one other Vraelean equipped with ancient artefacts in armor and weaponry, who made quick work of the several surprised Kartek warriors who was not expecting to fight on route, this would eventually lead to a full rout of their forces back into Kartek lands. When the battered Kartek Forces regrouped they demanded a explanation of this blatant violation of the agreement they had made with Vraelea, To which Vraleans denied of its existence, this back and forth between group eventually ended with the banishment of Choochie. Which ended any talks of the matter.

The outcome of the first conflict can be perceived as a stalemate, with both sides sustaining casualties, despite Kartek pulling back they had only used a expeditionary force comprised of only 9 soldiers who's main intention was to directly give their terms and ultimatum, not to initially fight (although they anticipated it), yet conflict did arise. However with the second conflict it can be thought of as a unfortunate disaster with the incursions resulting in nothing but reducing the two nations relations to rock bottom.

The Portusburg Crisis
[Duration: October 6th, 2021 - October 17th, 2021]

On October 6th, Wrog, Lord of Portusburg, resigned from his position. After a brief incident in the throne room, Sinnon, a former council member of the town, was appointed to the Lordship of Portusburg. However, Wrog returned with followers and took the castle, declaring independence from Kartek. After unsuccessful negotiations, war was declared and a 40+ strong force was gathered to retake the city. On October 8th, the two forces fought at the Battle of Portusburg, ending in a victory for the Kartek Diarchy with Wrog and all his followers being killed. A second battle was planned to take place on the 17th of October to end the war.

the Years of unrest 2 months of civil war (12 Minecraft years)
[Duration: October 16th, 2021 - October [?]th, 2021] The days following the Battle of Portusburg were unusually tense. Tommo Gortoi stepped down as Khan, appointing Foczo to act as the new head of the Gertek people. BarendKramer, Foreign Minister to the Diarchy, and RGBstarship, Master of Arms, attempted a coup against the Tzar, but this failed. However, the Tzar willfully stepped down from his position as well around this same time, declaring Solomon Korolevski as his successor. However, proclamations resounded throughout the realm of the illegitimacy of either ruler, and the Diarchy suddenly fell into a state of anarchy. RGBStarship was the first to proclaim his secession from the realm, declaring Golgograd to be the seat of the new Principality of Lansi, creating a rift between the Arxellan and Gertek territories. Another claim was made for the nation of Vennkirstadt along the western border by Comrade, who was able to petition Escharian protection along with Lansi. News of this crisis was quickly received by the Frosterium, who upon hearing it immediately laid claim to the region, proclaiming that any who resisted their annexing Kartek lands would be met with aggression. With little organization and a lack of resources, the two respective realms submitted to the Frosterium, recognizing they were not capable of resisting this incursion without the support of Escharia, who had since abandoned the realm. In the following days, multiple resistance movements would rise to fight Frosterium occupation, mostly located in the Arxellan province. Following the dissolution of the The Kartek Diarchy The bloodiest chapter in the history of Kartek began. A bloody civil war began that was to last for two months which in the end should lead to the collapse of Frosterium and Escharia. And it all started with the invasion of Frosterium in Kartek plagued by anarchy under the pretext of bringing stability to the region. However, many important figures did not want to be suppressed without a fight. And a rebellion of  Gertek warriors and Arxellan merchants began. Other nations declared independence from the occupying power Frosterium. It was the Confederate Trade Guild and the republic of Kranga. The two countries secretly allied and founded a resistance group that would spread fear and terror against the occupiers The name of the group was The Kartek loyalists army (In short KLA) Led by. 001first leader of the Confederate Trade Guild- Tzar Ferro Korolevski former Tsar of Arxella- General_ich leader of Kranga

Later came Barend Kramer after losing his mind about his failed coup and placing 7000 trees. He went on a spiritual journey and the god of the Gertek Appeared before his eyes and revealed his face. a gigantic troll face appeared over Vosokogrod. This miracle gave hope to the rebels and they began the first propaganda and video terrorist attacks mainly attacks on infrastructure in Frosterium. Their reaction was brutal and they send soldiers to massacre the population recently liberated city of Portusburg. Crimes were committed on both sides, but in time the rebels got the upper hand. And they inspired other rebel groups within the borders of Frosterium They had shown the world that Frosterium was not invincible. Even if other people would say that the KLA resistance movement has nothing to do with the collapse of Frosterium and that the collapse was inevitable.

It must be admitted that the resistance accelerated this collapse. The federation brought a brief period of peace In the conflict of north Sparwood. the two founding nation the Confederate Trade Guild and the republic of Kranga were now in a federation with Libra-Sorrell-Buktenfjall-Cliffton-kamyrirn-And the smallest nation Rook'Shaw. Comrade and his nation Vennkirstadt joined later. RGB didn't want to join because he didn't think the Federation could survive. All of these nations were founded after the chaotic collapse of Frosterium.The Federation had problems from the start. One of the biggest problems was that the nation's integrity was constantly being undermined. And external pressure brought betrayal from within.

The federal council hadn't even formed a government. And then came the greatest betrayal in the nation's history.everyone knew times were tough but we trusted each other But unfortunately the leader of Cliffton Sinnon claimed that he was forced to join the Federation. But his nation was part of Cartech he had no choice but to join. He used the autonomy and freedom that the Federation had given to him to betray it in the end. He organized a secret meeting with the leaders of The neighboring countries. RGB Leader of Lansi - Chorboi Leader of Thalassii - Herod Leader of Escharia - Fist of ice Leader of Fjellheim - foczo the self-proclaimed khan of the Gertek he was the leader of the puppet government That the Frosterium had established. Together they made a plan to dissolve the Federation and to divide the lands among themselves. The plans were uncovered early on by General_ich who immediately informed Jakob The leader of Libra. He called the revolutionary guard together to start a new rebellion. There was nothing more to be done, the Federation was over.

Civil War and The proclamation and history of the Caliphate
[Date:October 13th, 2021 - 30th of November]

After the fall of the Federation, the final chapter of the civilwar began. A new loyalist army was founded. After the stressful week of trying everything to keep the Federation together, many people were actually happy to have to go back to the guerrilla war. That was perhaps Kartek's recipe for success even when all was lost, they carried on refused to die.The mapmaker Juno calls the nation the cockroach that pretty much explains the stubbornness of this nation not willing to die no matter what After the fall of the federation, there were two new countries Arxella Led by RGB and Rohel Led by Sinnon also known as the Judas of the North. Rohel would be the country that would suffer the most. But where was the KLA supposed to start? Fortunately, Barend Kramer came back and he brought someone with him someone who should become one of the most notorious warriors in the world in the future Yiex! He didn't talk much but got results he alone did most of the damage against the traitors He swallowed entire rohel armies alone. Barends became a religious fanatic since his spiritual experiences and the unveiling of Tenga's face over the city of Gortovar. Barend began to indoctrinate the entire movement and radicalized every fighter he brought everyone closer to the Gertek religion. The rebels prepared a week hiding in the mountains and swamps.

After 1 week of preparation and massive indoctrination, the rebellion began with a video that contained a message to the whole world. In this video 001first and Barend Kramer Proclaimed the Kartek caliphate. After this revelation, a brutal guerrilla war campaign began against The traitor nations mainly rohel.At that time, Ferro lost more and more power Within the movement. the rebels set up ambushes destroyed infrastructure Terrorize the population and kidnap people to exchange them for ransom It got so bad that Sinnon the Judas of the North himself resigned he had ruined his people and put himself in a dire situation His successor Vashonn couldn't make a difference in this fight.

Political assassination attacks were the order of the day at the time there were no conventional battles - no wars The successor states had no real armies and could not win against the experienced caliphate fightersand after two weeks both Arxella and Rohel nations surrendered And the caliphate had managed to reunite Kartek.

Under new leadership of 001first as the caliph and Barend Kramer as the holy general a new militaristic chapter in the history of Kartek begin. Surprisingly, despite all these times of unrest. The nation was not weaker than its predecessors, but actually stronger than ever before. All the chaos and conflict had made this region very appealing to new players looking for adventure.

But unfortunately the peace was short-lived. an old enemy has returned with his backstabbing ways. One of the founding states of Frosterium Frosmyre wanted to destroy Kartek once and for all. They and their allies immediately declared war against a nation that has just emerged from civil war. The motives for this surprise attack were unclear but it was believed that it was due to Personal dislike to certain people in Kartek.

This declaration of war had surprisingly led to a wave of support and cohesion.a wave of war enthusiasm broke out across the country, stifling any resistance to the caliphate. All  Gertek Tribes united for the first time since the fall of the Kartek Horde it was incredible. Frosmyre Unintentionally had an entire nation united against it. Despite the declaration of war, Kartek would make a preemptive strike and attack first and attacked Frosmyre Ecclesia and mudrok at the same time. And then something unexpected happened (The rules of war were changed lol) Through a confusing night with the gods the offensive could not be made. The war continued with skirmishes on the border and neither side got the upper hand. time has changed and Kartek now had allies for the first time in the nation's history. The allies were The Holy Kingdom of gertonia and the empire of aldovir. Both nations had ambitious goals aldovir wanted to conquer the ancient empire of Yimmu-audal and wanted to stop Escharias bullying smaller nation and end their tyranny. (They wanted to conquer Escharias) And in these expansionist plans Kartek Should play a crucial role. Without the nobility being informed 001first negotiated with DrachCiv representative of aldovir and Kaiser Jeremy King of gertonia Over an invasion of Yimmu-audal and then Escharias.everyone knew a war with Escharias was inevitable by their constant intervention and aiding rebels within Kartek. and it was not forgotten that they were abandoned when the Frosterium invaded. And that they played a major role in the destruction of the Federation Most of the citizens in Kartek blame Escharias for all the bad things that happened to the nation. And now that they had allies and were strong enough to take revenge, a declaration of war would follow 001first Had led the nation into a twofront war. The sudden declaration of war was controversial aobody saw it coming. People already knew that there were war plans But the nation was already at war with Frosmyre. To understand this decision one has to understand that the leaders of Kartek Were gertek nomads warrior people on horses. it was part of their culture to pillage and wage war. For most of Karteks history, however, there has always been internal conflict. The tribes fought for different factions in the long civil war they weren't united since the collapse of the Kartek Horde. Many people call this old nation O.G Kartek. another important factor in this declaration of war was religion. The religion of the gertek has always been a brutal warrior religion. But thanks to Barend half the population has been radicalized and turned into religious fundamentalists. And the state religion of Escharias Soleannen was seen as evil. After this declaration of war there was a period of unrest again!!!! A time that became so restless that the mapmaker guild sanctioned Kartek. the region was written as a The great clusterfuck of Kartek on all the maps of the world. Vashonn earned the title as the new Judas of the north and through the influence of Herod Betrayed the caliphate and declared independence five days after joining the caliphate (Just stupid). But his armies were destroyed by a single bandit In the city of Moonberg. But that wasn't the only problem Tzar Ferro Korolevski Increasingly dissatisfied that he no longer has any influence in the nation. Started spreading propaganda that the war was lost and demoralizing the nation. In addition Escharias and Yimmu-audal United In a double monarchy called Solà-Audal. Everyone thought Kartek would collapse again when RGB also declared independence. It looked like all was lost the caliph didn't say a word our second man Barend retired  and married 4 women Which he had kidnapped before during one of the looting of Moonberg. Only the third obscure person remained General_ich. He used his diplomatic skills to hold the nation together and for a short time, he and Heij took over. In a time that came to be known as the Great Confusion. New information came to light that Ferro Korolevski had sold secrets of the nation to the enemy and that he talked badly about Barend behind his back. He had only done all of this because he was pissed off that his discord ranks had been taken away from him and that the new generation of Gertek nomads didn't respect him. At that point there were not many people left who belong to the people of arxella The culture was almost extinct.The nation consisted almost entirely of people of the ethnic group of the Gertek. Nonetheless, Ferro had betrayed the nation. Barend Heij and General_ich decided to kick him out. and to abandon the historically important town of vosokogrod. This ended the war with Frosmyre in an unspectacular way. Then the caliph 001first came back To finance the war with Solà-Audal, he gave independence to the rebels of Rohel In exchange for $ 300,000.

General_ich did not understand the plan of the caliph and was angry that the rebels were given freedom just like that. a power struggle broke out between the two founders of the Kartek loyalist Army. These power struggles came to be known as the second schism. The caliph won everything continued on its usual path and now there was only one war to focus on RGB came back. And what was left of the caliphate was united again the plan to destabilize the nation had failed the balance of power has not changed in Solà-Audal Favor. And internal conflicts broke out within the two nations Solà-Audal. Dissolved Yimmu-audal and Escharia were separated again but the war continued. Then before there could be a siege Escharia Collapsed the leaders had resigned And the remnants of the empire joined another nation as a vassal in Eldham. So another war was ended in an unspectacular way. By this point the caliph 001first had grown tired and resigned as the leader of Kartek. But there was a problem his successor Ferbez didn't want to be the next caliph. And so the nation was leaderless and none of the nobility wanted to take power. But the nation was still at war together with aldovir against Yimmu-audal Fortunately over time, both nations had grown together very strongly Thanks to DrachCiv one of the most important people in aldovir. With the constant conflict over the past two months, the nation's administration was at an end. So the nobility of Kartek decided to invite a governor from aldovir. aldovirs Executives were surprised by this offer of trust and the emperor Sent Kerplis to become the new governor of Kartek. When he was inaugurated, he gave an emotional speech to the population. He mentioned the friendship between the two nations and thanked them for their trust. and so the caliphate came to an end and was replaced by the new Kartek governor ship. Days later the old enemy  collapsed Frosmyre. and thanks to general_ich Intrigues and scheming the land that was lost abandon in the last war declared independence and became Kranga once again. days later kartek Known by many people in the world as the Empire's graveyard sent their horde to aldovir to support them in a great battle against Yimmu-audal. The troops were led by Barend Kramer and he led the allied forces to victory!

Aldovir governorship and the Kartek Golden Age
[Date: Unknown]

The governorship was a short period of administrative reconstruction. The main task was to rebuild the administration of the country. To write a new constitution and build a new government system Inspired by aldovir.Thanks to the help of DrachCiv RGB finally came back and had high hopes for the future of the nation. The general population was skeptical they thought he would betray the nation again after 5 seconds. But their worries were soon to be assuaged. RGB turned out to be a fantastic bureaucrat and diplomat. He worked out a new constitution Improved relationship with other nations and laid the backbone of our diplomatic soft power in the world.

DrachCiv created a new class of nobles Where one of them was supposed to become the next leader of Kartek. But there was a problem that nobody expected. Nobody wanted to be the new leader of Kartek (Too much headache) the entire nobility wanted that Barend Kramer to become the new leader but he refuse. So the nobility introduced a new system That from now on no native would be made leader. Instead, the nobles would invite a foreign warrior/nobleman to lead the nation. And in the end it was decided to invite Cube a senior member of Ulfaeng as the new leader of Karte and he was allowed to decide what his title should be called.

He decided to use a title name that had never been used in the nation's history Emperor that was a big deal (Not really) In the end On December 31st he was to be crowned as god-emperor big balls also known as god-emperor Sigma. And a short time later Yimmu-audal capitulated and was completely annexed by aldovir. After the coronation aldovir ended her governorship before the constitution was signed by the member states. Due to new tensions between Kartek and The Traitors of Rohel.

Rohel had continued to antagonize and insult kartek throughout The time they had a non-aggression pact which the two nations had signed after their second act of treason. Kartek gave up half a territory in the name of peace and their capital was in an enclave. And when the non-aggression pact expired and the king Rohel wanted to renew him and word reached the Imperial Senate The nobles couldn't help but laugh. The non-aggression pact was rejected and a new conflict was eminent through another plot that General_ich planned.

Soleàn Irastre de et Escharii
[Date: August 4th, 2021 - Present]

The Kartek Diarchy's relations with Escharia at the start were strained, with them attempting to secede from Escharia, however Matthew Edishield would prevent this relaying information about this Independence movement to Escharia, to which they replied by giving them a ultimatum with them offering to allow the Kartek Diarchy and Maldun their other Protectrate that shares the same border as the Diarchy to merge into one, With them further adding that if they should refuse the Kartek Diarchy would be out of allies, As Escharia is their one and only reliable ally, the Kartek Diarchy would accept Escharia's offer and conform to once again being their Protectorate although with more rights than they had before notably religious freedom.

Frosterium
[Date: September 11th, 2021 - October 22nd, 2021]

Relations previously with Frosmyre were tense, with Fjellheim's leader Fistofice a vassal state to Frosmyre, a direct parallel to Arxella a vassal state to Niedea (Escharia), both having a "embittered" rivalry, with both sides seemingly disliking the other. This continued even after Frosmyre, merged with the Magisterium to form the Frosterium. The Political situation between the two states can be best described as a "Cold War" with neither side wishing to be the aggressor in a conflict with one another should one occur. The Kartek Diarchy haD began the process of normalizing relations with the Frosterium. However, this what put on hold due to a diplomatic incident, and the diplomatic pressure exerted on Kartek by the Frosterium is cited as the main reason for Kartek's collapse.
