The Sublime Principate of Akiiyru is a large princedom located on the shores of the Raga Sea across from the Tagmatine Empire. The land is home to 75.38 million Akiiyans. The capital of the Principate is Nimarci. Akiiryu is rich in an array of ores, minerals, oil, and natural gas which has enabled the country to become an economic powerhouse. It has used its resource wealth to invest substantially into its military; it is the strength of arms that is an important mentality of the Akiiyan people.
History
The various Akiiyan tribes originated on the desolate North Central Steppe of Europa known as Than-A-Kai in the Akiiyan language. It was here that the myriad tribes fought one another for sparse pasture land for their horses, limited hunting grounds, and scarce water. Many of the tribes during this period of disunity would stage raids upon one another, against the tribes of the central plain, or for the more daring, strike into the lands of Vetok. One clan leader, Thayaric, recognized that in order to end the vicious cycle and to bring all tribes under one banner they needed to find a better home for all Akiiyans, and they needed a common enemy. Only one tribe, that under T'Baka, did not initially join. It was at the now famous gathering at Yari that Thayaric's horde charged south into lands then controlled by the Tagmatine Empire. The horde devasted the land and forced out the Tagmatines. With the collapse of the final stronghold two years after their arrival, the Akiiyans claimed the land as their own. For generations, the Akiiyan people had no central leader, and for his role in uniting the people and establishing the state, P'Thayaric was crowned the first Prince.
Military
The Akiiyan military is made up of the Army, Navy, Air Corps, the Border Security Force, and the Special Forces known as the Healfhundingas. The Mounted Police are responsible for law enforcement. There is 753,843 active personnel across the branches, over half of whom serve in the army. Hazax'th Armories, a native Akiiyan company, is the sole supplier to the Royal force. The Akiiyan Navy has seen the most resources in recent years.
There are several notable military installations including:
- Ba'taroc Army Base
- T'Jronric Airbase and Cosmos Research Centre
- Kugira Naval Station and Airbase
- Harathsonara Naval Station and Airbase
T'Ka, the Grand War Master, is responsible for executing all offensive and defensive activities of the military on the orders of the Prince. He focuses primarily on everything except naval affairs, which is left to N'Thanitha, 1st Sea Marshal and Knight of the Stag. He consults with Admiral N'Caliasth (commander of the Northern Fleet out of Kugira) and Admiral N'Utharic (commander of the Southern Fleet out of Harathsonara).
Geography
Nimarci, the capital city, is located on the coast of the Inland Sea, on the east bank of mouth of the Ruawai river (section 54). Jauthric, the royal city, sits at the tip of the peninsula that juts into the Inland Sea to the east of Nimarci Rothrican, a growing industrial and technological powerhouse of a city, sits at the head of the Ruawai river. It is expected to become even more important when the canal is finished (see below). Nithonac is a port city that sits mouth of the Nuiwai (river on 54 that opens to the sea) on its westbank. Mirroring Nithonac on the eastbank of the Nuiwai, is the Samae Naval Base. Tannoc, a whaling and fishing center, sits on the northern coast of section 54 (right on the border with section 55) Okiikumath sits on the border with the Europa Empire and section 52 (in the bit the juts down) (plot 53). Santhu, a coastal city, sits just north of the Europa border (in the depression). Yunannoc, a major military city, sits in the centre of the western quarter of plot 53. Kiamona rests in the V created where the Thunder Mountian Range parts from the Snow Tower Alps (see below) in plot 53 Roads run between all of these cities
A large mountian range, the Snow Tower Alps, runs north-south down the centre of section 53, string of smaller (hight wise) mountians (the Thunder Mountians) split from the Snow Tower Alps about a third of the way up (taking south as the bottom) and head east. These mountians run all the way to the Inland Sea. A canal is currently being completed (it will be completed by the time you draw this stuff in if that is okay?) between the Nuiwai and Ruawai Rivers, making naviagtion between Inland Sea and the (name?) sea possible for all but the largest vessels. Akiiryu announces the completion of the Akii Canal which connects the Ruawai river (section 54) to the Nuiwai river (section 54) meaning that the inland sea is now connected with the sea. The canal is capable to handling all but the biggest ships. Ka (at the base of the small bay at the top of 52) Garthrona (directly across the border from MS's Ulcoora) Farronarg (South East bottom point of 52 - the bit the points into MS territory) Ha'Aman ( in the middle of the Europa Empire border, about 1/2 a cm in land Barthii Oil Fields - in the centre of the plot (where the 55 is now). Ya'tha - South of the Barthii oil fields Ga'thula - South Eastern corner where plot 55 meets already existing Akiiryan territory Jakrii in the middle of the main island and Daracarath on the main island's southern coast. Ojika Gas fields Thanlith Gar Natural Gas Feilds (a couple off shore refineries and such would be nice).
The Sublime Principate of Akiiryu declares its terrorial boundaries to cover sections (OOC: plots?) 53 and 54. The capital city, Nimarci, is located on the coast of the inland sea, to the east of the Ruawai river (section 54). At the moment Akiiryan engineers are completing a canal system to connect the Ruawai river with the Nuiwai river (section 54) so that the inland sea will be connected with the sea (OOC: what's the sea's name?) and the port city of Nithonac which sits at the mouth of the Nuiwai on its westbank.
Government
The Prince who sits upon the Antlered Throne is the absolute head of state and government. He largely leaves the day-to-day affairs to his advisors who make up the Baronic Council, led by T'Nith, but his decision is final in all matters. Beneath the nobles who sit on the council, the realm is divided into sixteen provinces who are led by nobility appointed by the Prince. Each province is further subdivided into hides (fiefdoms). The concept of democracy as known across the Eurth is foreign in Akiiryu and even if regular citizens were asked if they wanted it, ten out of ten would responsible that they support the ordered system.
Society and Culture
RELIGION: God View
Polytheistic, Multiple gods exists, each of roughly the same importance. One chief God (the Stag). The Beast (kinda like the devil) is considered a god, despite being the symbol of evil.
Spiritual Aim: Ethical and moral standards are their own reward, regardless of the possibility of heavenly rewards or punishment.
Devotion Required: Daily (for Clergy), Monthly (for lay people)
The Akiiryan's believe in and respect the Gods, but the relationship between the Gods and their worshippers is not seen to require constant acknowledgment through worship. Cle
Organization Structure: Rigid hierarchy answerable to a central authority [Arch-Priests of each god, headed by Arch-Preist of the Stag] the minimal decision making at lower levels.
Liturgical Formality: Rituals are combined with an open teaching policy.
Missionary Fervor: Willing to convert any person, although it is doubted non-Akiiryans are blest with the characteristics that the Gods expect in their worshippers.

In related news while discussing the placing of Santhu based Sea Guards Units on high alert today, Gathoric Yaonaricic, a spokesman for the Baronic Council, stated that the Baronic Council welcomes Karthenia's support of the Sublime Principate with regard to The Chosen Nations. The Baronic Council, he stated, hopes that Karthenia's support is indicative of a new chapter in the two states' relationship.

It was announced today that paleological, archaeological and zoologoical teams from Nitonae University and the University of Nimarci are to conduct an expedition to Ottawaticus Island, North of Vanarambaion (ooc: Island 0.1).
Professor Chadoric Gaffieaus of the University of Nimarci. Professor Gaffieaus, an archaeologist who specialises in Classical Tagmatine, continued "Ottawaticus has been virtually untouched by humanity since the last Orthodox Monks left over 700 years ago, I am sure we are going to find a multitude of hidden treasures that will further our knowledge of the Classical Tagmatine Church."
Professor Sergaric Durthanric, the Head of Nitonae University's Department of Paleontology, was equally enthusiastic. "Ottawaticus is one of the oldest geological formations in north-western Europa and we know from reading the accounts of the Orthodox Monks that lived there that the rocks are full of fossilized material. I am excited even just thinking about what awaits our team!"
When asked if mounting such an expedition to an island that once contained a Tagmatine Monastery was unwise given that tense relations between the Sublime Principate and The Greater Holy Empire, Professor Gaffieaus replied in the negative.
"No, I don't believe so. We're researchers, not soldiers and I am sure the people of Tagamtium will be gratified by the fact that we are doing something to explore and preserve part of their heritage. In fact, I hope our research will open up further paths of communication between the academic communities of both our nations."
When asked if he he foresaw the possibility of joint Akiiryan-Tagmatine research expeditions to the island in the future, Professor Durthanric responded "anything is possible," and that "he would be more than happy to work with researchers from the Greater Holy Empire."This template may be deleted.
