Qartuzhia is a landlocked, constitutional monarchy in central Esquarium bordered by Kadaria, Leney, Cadasia, and Chenturia.
The first inhabitants of Qartuzhia were nomads who were later displaced by migrations from the interior. The scholastic city-states of classical Tuzh society allowed the nomadic aristocracy to retain a privileged, religious status until the establishment of Great Khaganate. Under the Great Khaganate, Qartuzhia was reformed and a new military aristocracy arose, but the economy benefited little since the Great Khagans saw the Tuzh as a peripheral, backwards people. In 1806, during the dissolution of the Great Khaganate, the Tuzh were initially aligned with the Hasemids since may of their princes shared bloodties with the Khagan. It was during this tumultuous period that the Dileshks, the group of court officials responsible for translating the imperial writ into local languages, became the dominant advisory body of the Tuzhkhans. During the volatile century, the Dileshks assassinated the Tuzhkhan and ended their subservience to the Kadarians. A new Khagan was acclaimed and the Tuzh, like all of the successor states, actively pursued recognition of their Khagan as the supreme lord of the Great Khaganate. As the wars failed, however, and the Dileshks were pushed towards the periphery in favor of military officers, they assassinated their Khagan and proclaimed a regency which has continued to the modern day.
