Portittor

The Merchant Empire of the Portittor was a nation created by Rubrum Tenebrae. It was located on the westernmost tip of Plagos, in the old Alamayni land of Aljazair.

Beginnings
The Merchant Empire of the Portittor began on May 20th, 2022. It started out as just the city of Kharis. Rubrum Tenebrae declared Kharis' independence and the founding of the Portittor because of the state of Alamayn. She did not like how it was going to go and did not like the attitude of the Alamayni's. So she took her one city and declared independence.

The Portittor was under no threat of invasion from Alamayn because of the ongoing Alamayn-GoonGuard War. Alamayn was too preoccupied to attack Rubrum's nation. So, with Kharis city the Portittor began its short journey.

Alamayn Land Disputes
Following the Portittor's founding, the old land of Alamayn was disputed. Because Rubrum had declared her independence before Alamayn's collapse, she could guarantee her hold on Kharis. However, she wanted more land for the merchant empire. So the Portittor entered the land disputes. The empire attempted to claim two Aljazair cities of Östö and Umbar. However, the Holy State of Viesten also wanted those two cities.

Viesten and the Portittor entered negotiations and a deal was soon met: Viesten would recieve Östö and Umbar in exchange for an abandoned town in Viesten territory. The two nations also signed a non-aggression pact, officially titled the Treaty of Tlemcen. This put the Portittor in a good spot.

The Ending of the Portittor
However, the merchant empire would not last long and the Merchant Empress, Rubrum Tenebrae, sold all Portittor land to Viesten. A deal of 50,000 dollars was made and the Holy State expanded its domain. On June 3rd, 2022, the Portittor ended. It's reign over much of Aljazair over in a very short time

The Title of Emperor/Empress
At the highest position of power, the title of Emperor/Empress existed. The Empress could do whatever she desired. No one could oppose her law, and no one could depose her. The only way to get the Empress out of power was to rebel or coup them. The Empress had complete control over all cities, armies, trade agreements, and all matters

The Title of Lord
The second highest position of power was the title of Lord. The Lord title was given out to the owners of a city. The Lord could pass laws for their cities and form militias for them. They could also conduct trade agreements with other nations if given permission by the Empress.

The Title of Officer
The lowest position of power in the government was the title of Officer. The Officer title was given out to special members of each city. No more than two Officers could exist in a city. An Officer had the power to enforce laws in that specific city and also clean up the land in between each city.
