Turreich

Turreich, officially the Kingdom of Turreich, is a nation in Eldham.

The Turreichian Kingdom came to existence by the Turreichian deal. Which saw the purchase of the now capital Turreich. The lands that had been bought were in the ocean. They bought a relic of the past Where only the tower still stuck out of the sea. This land had been forgotten by every country and was not claimed so the Turreichian Kingdom saw its chance and seized the opportunity. The Kingdom of Turreich is a slow but steadily growing island with currently only its capital to its flag. A they used to be surrounded by bigger nations like Amagoria and Helsia.

The Amagorian Debacle
The Kingdom of Turreich had trouble in its early days. The waters that Turreich had settled on were previously claimed by Amagoria and claimed that the new water-city-state of Turreich was squatting on their land. Turreichian leadership called BS on claiming a large chunk of the Vetr Sea. Thus, started the conflict that was known as "The Amagorian Debacle". Neither side wanted to go to war over one funny tower in the middle of the sea and didn't want to give up their land. both sides started in an arms race to find allies and call upon existing ones to help bully the other side into an agreement that benefited them, Turreich gained "The Union of Iron" and "Druk Yull" in support of their plight while Amagoria had the backing of "Simulami". The situation worsened when Amagoria hired Mercenaries to kill Turreichians in their own city in an effort to break their moral. Turreich responded by sending Amagoria cooked salmon (fish that was sacred to the Amagorians and treated them as if they were family) they were horrified at this. Unsurprisingly there are multiple instances of war almost breaking out between the nations, on one such occasion it took 3 hours of peace talks to stave of a war. The Debacle came to a close as once was Amagoria became integrated into the Simulami Empire, while the Turreichians laughed at such a cowardly move they did realize they could not take on such a large nation and was forced compromise. Simulami paid The Kingdom of Turreich 200k doubloons and set aside a small bit of sea just a few hundred blocks away from Simulami's maritime border to relocate too. The new city was named "New Turreich" and is located in the Frostbitten Sea.

While the Amagorian Debacle did not end in clear victory for Turreich it tested the cunning of their leaders and extent of Turreichian stubbornness against more devolved nations.

Culture
As the Kingdom of Turreich is small it has some rather interesting culture. The Kingdom of Turreich takes pride in their capabilities of fishing therefore cod is the national animal of the kingdom. the 31st of every month they have a national cod day where every citizen can get free cod to eat and on every other day the eating of cod is still recommended. While they take pride in fishing, they also have a very neatly organized army with strict rules to follow.
