Gautenga, officially the Kingdom of Gautenga is a landlocked sovereign state in eastern Hesperidesia, in Astyria. The nation rests along the south bank of the Red River, between two major tributaries.

Politics

Gautenga is an absolute monarchy headed by the current king, Barruti II, according to Gauteng custom and laws. The King of the Gauteng is viewed as the national and spiritual head of the Gauteng people, and serves as the administrative head of state for Gautenga.

Forgeign Relations

Gautenga has regular territorial disputes with both Jafala over grazing rights - particularly during the dry season when the tributaries that comprise the nation's western and eastern borders begin to dry up, allowing herds to cross in both directions.

Gautenga is also a member of the Hesperidesian Union and the East Astyrian Treaty Alliance.

Gauteng Defense Force

The Gauteng Defence Force (GDF) is charged with the maintenance of internal security and the defence of Gautenga. The force comprises about 2,000 personnel, with an army and a small air wing. As a member of the East Astyrian Treaty Alliance, Gautenga relies heavily upon the Blackhelm Confederacy to guarantee its external security.
