Kisanaq, officially the Kingdom of Kisanaq Crown, is a country in northern Athenia, occupying the small Kisanaq Peninsula and the nearby Taraq Isle. Kisanaq is a constitutional monarchy and a developed country with an advanced high income market economy. Its capital and largest city, the Kisanaq City, serves as a financial centre of north Athenia and hosts the headquarters of many multinational corporations.

The country originates from the remote town of the Nbuka Realm, Kisanaq, which became home to the house of Rasmuq in 1203. In 1424, the house gathered enough resources and power to make the whole peninsula an autonomous region. The country, which at that time only contained the city and forests surrounding it, then gained full independence in 1497, after the collapse of the Nbuka Realm. Kisanaq was later colonized by Aftenheim in the 19th century and regained its independence in 1954.

History

Nbuka Realm

Kisanaq was first mentioned as a castle in 976. A base for further Nbukan expeditions into the wilderness of northern Athenia, it became a town in 1098 when King Farita III. granted Kisanaq its civic charter as a "Royal Special Town". In the 1100s, it had a population of roughly a thousand people.

In 1203, Adili of the house of Rasmuq made a deal with the Duke of the Northern Lands Misata Ki Afatikaq and had a castle of his own by the name of Pataqi built northwest of the town, where he later moved with his wife Taqiha Ka Masapi and 2 sons. What followed were years of heavy investments into the town and its infrastructure, which resulted in the influx of peasants and the growth of the mostly fishing and hunting-based economy. In 1225, the coastal town was chosen to become the base for Nbukan northern sea expeditions. Kisanaq was given the status of a duchy in 1237, with the whole peninsula falling under Duke Adili Ki Rasmuq's rule, splitting away from the Nbukan province of the Northern Lands, ruled by Duke Paqa Ki Afatikaq.
