Khemetu, officially known as the Pharonate of Khemetu or the Belthonid Kingdom of Khemetu is a sovereign state located in northern Scipia, facing the Periclean Sea to the north. Khemetu is bordered by Alanahr to the east, Tyreseia to the west, and Charnea to its south.

Khemetu is a semi-arid country covering an area of 441,024 km2 (170,280 sq mi) with a population of roughly 33 million, the official state religion is Pharaonic Nazarism (a branch of Coptic Nazarism), while the official language is Khemetian. The capital of Khemetu is Rakota, while its largest city is the port of Nutkaretj.

Historical records attest that Khemetu was the birthplace of one of the most ancient civilizations in history; Ancient Khemetu having emerged in the 4th millennium BC, from the union of three kingdoms. Ancient Khemetu developed a sophisticated society notable for its central monarchical government, its religion, its unique writing system, and its various other advancements in the sciences, mathamatics, technology, and the arts.

In mordern times the country is ruled by the House of Belthon which governs the country under the framework of an absolute monarchy where the current Pharaoh Ramessu XIX Belthon has wide ranging executive, judicial, and legislative powers but generally the monarch relies on the assistance of the country's Consultative Assembly.

Geography

The geography of Khemetu is dominated by the Periclean sea to its north and the Ninva desert to its immediate south. The terrain of the kingdom is characterized by arid desert, coastal plains, highlands, lowland steppes, and some mountain ranges.

The country is split in two by its main river the Khesbed, which flows from Lake Irtiu in the western regions of the country in the heart of the northern Zabdju mountain range. The landscape of the area to the north of the Khesbed is characterized by highlands and plateaus indented by river valleys in the north east; while in the north west the landscape beyond the northern limits of Zabdju mountains gives way to rolling plains that have historically been prone to flooding from the nearby lake and river.

Below the Khesbed river, just south of the thin fertile strip of land that is made fertile by the annual flooding of the aforementioned river the landscape gives way to the arid Ninva desert which is marked by lowlying steppes and dunes the barenness of which is broken only by the watered oases, of which the seven sisters (Buhen, Nabta, Harawi, Khentit, Qesy, Ipsambul, and Pilakh), are the most famous although there are several others.

Climate

Khemetu's climate is characterized as a hot-summer Periclean climate and a hot desert climate Along the country's coast and within the north eastern region specifically the climate is of a Periclean nature with hot to very hot summers alternating with mild winters. While the majority of the country is marked by an arid dryness, however weather is cooler in the north eastern highlands and in west near the mountainous region around lake Irtiu. The higher elevations in the north can often befound to have frost and snow.

Administrative divisions

The Kingdom of Khemetu is divided into three regions, Emqabet, Iabetet, and Resut-Nebu. The three regions are subdivided into 52 sepats (provinces), which are further subdivided into districts (waret). Emqabet consists of 22 sepats, Iabetet and Resut-Nebu both consist of 15 sepats respectively.

Politics

The kingdom or Pharonate of Khemetu is a unitary semi-parliamentary absolute monarchy with the Pharaoh posessing near absolute power, tempered only by the country's adherence to the Law of Maat, that provides for the general harmony and stability of the realm. Lacking a codified constitution, the Law of Maat functions as the country's primary legal document and "unwritten" constitution.

Until the mid 1800s, the country's political system was notable in north Scipia for its absence of nationally wide elections, with most activity involving politics taking place amongst the members of the Belthonid royal family and the upper statum of Khemetian society.

Djadjataaa

The Djadjataa or Great Assembly is the primary legislative body of the realm, consisting of two chambers, an upper house called the Per Shepsu composed of appointed and hereditary nobles, and the lower house called the Per Nedjes composed of elected deputies from the Sepats. While the Djadjataaa is responsible for advising the king, proposing laws and at times confirming the succession; and despite the appearance of being a fully functioning legislative body it has been labeled nothing more than a a rubber stamp by critics who point to the fact that the body is largely consultive in nature and that most matters of the state are decided beforehand by the extended members of the royal family and their elite inner circles.
