Rajyaghar, officially the Kingdom of Rajyaghar, is a country on the continent of Coius. Bound by the Acheloian Sea on the North, Rajyaghar shares land borders with Zorasan to the east; Ajahadya to the south; and Devagara and Ladaca to the west.

Culturally, Rajyaghar can be split into two main groups; the tulyatans and pardarian irfanics. The East and South East of Rajyaghar is dominated by the irfan communities whereas the west is dominated by the tulyatan communities. Whilst the nation is split 60:40 in terms of land area dominated by Tulyatan communities and Irfan communities respectively, in terms of population size the tulyatan community is much larger with there being a 70:30 divide. As a result, much of the national government is tulyatan dominated, a result of this demographic situation and the historical events that led to independence.

In the late 1940s, the tulyatan communities feared that the pardarian irfanics in the east would be emboldened by the revolutions taking place in Zorasan and they feared that the pardarian irfanics would try to conduct a similar revolution in Rajyaghar. As a result, the non-irfanic communities, including their middle class and elites, rallied behind the monarchies of the former rajyani kingdoms, particularly the Sanyukti Maharaja; Krishan III. In November 1952, the non-irfanic leaders of the independence movement held a congress in the ancient sanyukti city of Kinadica, where they agreed that they would back a constitutional monarchy for a post-independent Rajyaghar. The congress also decided that it would be Krishan III who would be the first post-independence Maharaja. During the independence negotiations with [colonial power] in February 1953, the pardarian irfanic independence leaders were out-maneuvered early on and were out voted by the non-irfanic independence leaders and the constitutional monarchy system with Krishan III as Maharaja was agreed to.

Rajyaghar has been a federal, constitutional monarchy since 1953. Whilst the Constitution grants significant powers to the Maharaja, over the decades following independence, much of the power granted to the Maharaja has been exercised by the Premier of Rajyaghar (officially called the Peshwa). The Constitution also set out the creation of an independent judiciary appointed by the Maharaja and a Shahee Sansad which maintained budgetary control. The nation’s executive government is led by the Maharaja who appoints a Peshwa (i.e. Prime Minister) who in turn nominates individuals to the Maharaja to serve as Government Ministers in the National Cabinet. The Peshwa is appointed by the Maharaja and is often the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Shahee Sansad. The legislature is the Shahee Sansad and is a unicameral legislature consisting of a mix of appointed and elected representatives. The Chamber has 450 directly elected constituent representatives, 112 appointed representatives (by the Maharaja) and 78 Clan Leaders. Legislation passed by the Shahee Sansad must be granted assent by the Maharaja. A veto cannot be overridden. There is also a National Council of Rulers which consists of the former Maharajas of the pre-colonial kingdoms of Rajyaghar; who are now granted the title of ‘Prince of Rajyaghar’. The Council of Rulers is an advisory council to the Maharaja and is often summoned for advice on constitutional crises or other matters of national importance, to provide non-political advice to the Maharaja. During events of national significance, such as the coronation of a new Maharaja, the Council of Rulers plays a key ceremonial role; i.e. at the Durbar following the coronation where all of the Princes pledge allegiance to the new Maharajas.

Whilst Rajyaghar’s main industry is agriculture, it has a growing information and technology sector. In the last two decades, due to government emphasis on education and literacy, the nation has seen a sharp rise in literacy rates and has seen an emergence of a growing middle class. This change has also seen an influx of rural citizens move to the urban centres which has further grown the cosmopolitan industries of Rajyaghar. However, due to inequalities in the distribution of education and infrastructure, as well as limited resources, not all of Rajyaghar has benefited from these changes and the income inequality of the state has increased.
