The New Reich (Altische: Neureich) more commonly known as simply Valkist Altenland is a country located in central Cybellum. It borders Kingdom of Hecynia to the south, Volkhov to the east and the Auvernian Federation to the west.
Altenland was founded as a independent state in 1840 after Pierre's Conquest, after which the Altish state of Schaffenland conquered the remaining unincorporated Altish states into a unified Altish state, forming the Altish Empire. In 1919 Altenland lost the Great War and was forced to make concessions to the victorious powers. Kaiser Siegfried III was deposed and Altenland became a republic. In 1927, the ultranationalist Die Neureich Koalition, composed of the Valkistische Volkspartei (Espousing Valkism) the Vaterländisch Arbeiterpartei (espousing People's Socialism), the Kochists (a splinter of the Arbeiterpartei) and the Eigenständigkeit (A "popular movement" that promotes self-suffiency as it's primary goal) alongside other groups, such as local Freikorps and Blackshirts launched a coup taking over the city of Eisenplatz. The Koailtion gave the ruling Volkskonservativerpartei a period of 24 hours to either resign or face a armed insurrection. After the party resigned, the four major forces within the Koatilion took power in Altenland with the VV taking helm under Führer Franz Neumann, establishing a Valkist authoritarian goverment.
Etymology
Altenland simply means "Land of the Altische" and was coined by High King Frederick I, the founder of the Altish Empire.
History
Politics
Goverment
Altenland is a authortarian state that is lead by a ruling coalition called the Altische-Koalition, with semi-republican values. Voters are restricted to the member parties of the ultranationalist Koalition, those being the Valkistiche Volkspartei, the Vaterlandisch Arbeiterpartei and the Eigenstandigkeit. Politcal activity is banned unless approved by a higher authority and given a warrant. Only Koalition members are permitted to take public office.
Franz Neumann, as Fuhrer exercises supreme power over all state functions of Altenland, alongside control over the military as Commander-in-Chief. The Reichskanzlei serves as a pseudo-parliement which allows the member parties of the Koalition to express their greievences and demands. As Fuhrer, Neumann is actually invested with more power than the Reichskanzlei, but partcipates and allows discussion within the Reichskanzlei as a politcal measure to appease the other Koalition parties. Neumann's party, the VV holds the most seats in the Reichskanzlei and therefore is has more power in passing bills. The Arbeitpartei is split between the "main" wing of the party, revolving around Hanz Wright, who is also Reich Minister of Economics and the radical Kochists, lead by one Roswalt Koch, current Minister of Reynish Affairs. Meanwhile, the Eigenstandigkeit has the least seats in Reichskanzlei, but has a large presence within high-ranking offices of the miltitary.
