Qartuzhia is a landlocked, constitutional monarchy in central Esquarium bordered by Kadaria, Leney, Cadasia, and Chenturia. Most of the nation is a high cold steppe irrigated by seasonal streams, but there a few major river valleys that support the majority of the sixty-eight million inhabitants.
The first inhabitants of Qartuzhia were nomads who were later displaced by migrations from the interior. The scholastic city-states of classical Tuzh society allowed the nomadic aristocracy to retain a privileged, religious status until the establishment of Great Khaganate. Under the Great Khaganate, Qartuzhia was reformed and a new military aristocracy arose, but the economy benefited little since the Great Khagans saw the Tuzh as a peripheral, backwards people. In 1806, during the dissolution of the Great Khaganate, the Tuzh were initially aligned with the Hasemids since may of their princes shared blood ties with the Khagan. It was during this tumultuous period that the Dileshks, the group of court officials responsible for translating the imperial writ into local languages, became the dominant advisory body of the Tuzhkhans. During the volatile century, the Dileshks assassinated the Tuzhkhan and ended their subservience to the Kadarians. A new Khagan was acclaimed and the Tuzh, like all of the successor states, actively pursued recognition of their Khagan as the supreme lord of the Great Khaganate. As the wars failed, however, and the Dileshks were pushed towards the periphery in favor of military officers, they assassinated their Khagan and proclaimed a regency which has continued to the modern day.
Politics
The capital of Turajia is home to the primary deliberative body, the Gallery of Translators, who are have historically acted as the interregnal regents awaiting the return of the Great Khaganate. Since most of the classic works of philosophy and politics are not written in the native languages of Qartuzhia, the right of the Translators to rule is derived from their ability to uniformly translate old legal codes into a uniform, multilingual canon of laws known as the Book of Tongues. Under the Great Khagan and later the Heliolatric Khagan, the power of these bureaucrats were substantially checked by the censorate, which would ensure that the Book of Tongues was accurate and complete. In more recent years, however, the powers of the censorate has declined and they mostly act on the behalf of the translators to ensure that the Book of Tongues is being implemented by other branches of government. Alongside the translators is the Assembly of the Lances which is a deliberative body composed of the scholar-gentry and the military aristocracy. Discourse in the Assembly, however, is strictly carried out in Tangut and many members of the assembly depend on the translators to voice their opinions at all.
The regent is nominally the monarch in the absence of a Khagan, but beyond his administrative responsibilities in the maintenance of the Khagan's various residences, the regent is seldom involved in politics.
