South Reinkalistan

South Reinkalistan, officially the People's Federation of Reinkalistan, is a transcontinental country in Reinkalistan. It is bordered to the north-west by North Reinkalistan, and shares a maritime border to the north-east with Stayaczia. It is a federal union of six republics, and claims its northern neighbour as the autonomous Renyashika Territory. Constitutionally it is state socialist, applying an interpretation of Vanguardist theory known as Kaszar Turaniski Thought which synthesises Reinkalistani folk religion, mythical esotericism, and communism. The country is a modern, first-world nation with a high HDI and relatively advanced living standards. However, it is considered by many states to suffer a significant democratic deficit and many human rights abuses carried out by the government have been reported.

Reinkalistan as a nation was formed around the turn of the 4th Century in 312, with the ancient tribes of Renyashika, Ontak, Kaskia, Shiraka, Kovtekka, and Suzkoch being united through conquest and diplomacy by the first "Dezukirik" ("unifier", "king") of the nation, Tanay'ii Reintasz. He was elected as such by the first "Tay Vozavskiy" ("Grand Council") assembled from all the tribes of the Reinkalistani continent. Soon, a centralised state and bureaucracy would take form in Reinkalistan, with minted currency, paid and privileged administrators, and a comprehensive legal system which recognised the rights of tribal elders while also binding them to a semblance of law and order. A multi-century golden age would thus proceed until the 783 conquests of the Kayan Knights, which civilised the chaotic continent of Askander and sent tens of thousands of pirates, outlaws, and vagabonds over the Ganvadak Strait and into Reinkalistan.

What would follow is a deep instability in the Reinkalistani state, as bandits and mercenaries became commonplace throughout the countryside. This culminated in famous warlord Siemowyć Haczalai's bribery of the Tay Vozavskiy in 794 to elect him as Dezukirik, which outraged local provincial authorities and catapulted Reinkalistan into civil war. The following chaos effectively left regional governors with much autonomy which they proceeded to exploit, totally fracturing the country. Dozens claimed the title of Dezukirik, and the whole continent was plunged into centuries of conflict, which also allowed the Kayans to occupy the prosperous port city of Ganvadak.

This period of chaos would nevertheless come to an end in 1165, following a period of military campaigns led by Alkisz Tonazhi, who reunified the ancient clan-lands and re-modelled the country under the basis of Kayan Feudalism, emulating the now-dominant Kayan Empire on Askander. Following the reconquest of Ganvadak, Reinkalistan and Kayastadt, as the known world's two largest civilisations, by and large agreed to leave each other alone, with both largely conducting their own affairs with limited interaction or trade until the discovery of Dhoeria in 1578. An entirely new continent, it became the exclusive colonial dominion of Kayastadt until the Dhoerish Revolution, at which point the far-away continents of Odoheia and Sianshu had nevertheless been thoroughly imperialised by the Kayans and the many smaller Askanderean imperial polities.

Entering the 19th Century a thoroughly sidelined and backwards country, Reinkalistan suffered many humiliating defeats both economically and militarily as it began to slowly fall more and more beneath the sway of the Kayan Empire. By the 1900s, the assassination of King Alexander III in 1924 led to the signing of the Three-Power Treaty between the Dhoerish Union, Kayan Empire, and Reinkalistan the next year. This actualised unprecedented economic exploitation of Reinkalistani labourers and exclusive Dhoerish and Kayan rights to Reinkalistani resources.

This led to growing domestic unrest, allowing the Anti-Imperialist Unity Front (Vra'zyczyda Karadovi Insztra, or VzKI) under the leadership of Kaszar Turaniski, Horath Devask, and Joreyu Lethk to seize power. The VzKI was composed of myriad political tendencies, such as spiritual socialists, secular socialists, and anarcho-communists, but nevertheless it managed to obtain enough unity to overthrow the government in 1964 and functionally force a stalemate in the Reinkalistani Civil War by 1967, leaving the country split in two by the Kaskian Mountains, despite a revolt by Lethk's anarchists against the VzKI.

The VzKI re-organised itself into the Communist Party of Reinkalistan following its victory, and Turaniski and Devask operated on a broad power-sharing agreement in the People's Federation until disagreements saw the 1971 New Years' Coup have Devask ousted and forcing him to flee to Askander. This left the country under the full control of the spiritualist faction.

South Reinkalistan thus underwent a period of intense and sometimes violent industrialisation under the Six-Year Plans, which transformed the predominately rural Reinkalistani society into an urban-industrial one, allowing it to join the Third Great War of Askander in 1983 and handily defeat Kayastadt once and for all in concert with the Dhoerish Union, Provoka, and Suthambram. The post-war division of Askander saw the D'ailloustre Line divide the continent between a capitalist North and vanguardist South, thus initiating the Cold War which currently divides the Earth..

In 2001 Kaszar Turaniski would die and be succeeded by his young son, Mozhkin Turaniski, who proceeded to thoroughly purge the administration of perceived "geriatrics" and assemble a new cabinet of his supporters. Under Turaniski Jr., Reinkalistan has taken an actively hostile stance on the world stage, which has brought it into conflict with not just Dhoeria, but also states such as Nifon, Cassadia, and Aureumterra.
