Ruzkov Empire Rule

The High Kingdom

Coronation of High King Æthelwin the Liberator, 1205

In the beginning of Ruzkov rule over Aborzhenia, religion was not much of a primary issue of conflict. While some skirmishes between followers of Aunhii and Catholics were recorded as occurring early as 840 in the Kilcochran Chronicles, the early Ruzkov administration tended to allow the two main religions to interact and even create a syncretic belief later known as Kerlatism. However, after around the year 1200, Emperor Yonwjjn III of Gürhelsten was convinced by Ruzkovian leaders of the Aunhii religion that the presence of outside religions in the realm was dangerous to their faith. As a result, Yonwjjn declared an Inquisition to combat this supposed aggression. Almost immediately after, Catholic and Kerlatist dukes and nobles were deposed from their seats of power, and in some cases even killed. Ruzkovian armies rampaged through the country, destroying Catholic and Kerlatist churches and abbeys. Even the commonfolk were not immune from this violence, and the Catholic church town of Dunsbury-upon-Nemes was razed in 1203. Many Aborzhene nobles (who were mostly of the Aunhii religion themselves) were indignant at this new treatment by their overlords, but in order to avoid rocking the boat and losing their own titles, did not stick up for their Catholic countrymen.

The stance of these nobles changed dramatically in late November of 1204, when Yonwjjn issued a decree demanding that the Aunhii nobles must levy their peasant armies into battle against the Catholics and Kerlatists in order to maintain their titles and station under the Ruzkovian crown. This decree is seen as the turning point that singlehandedly brought the Dukes of the Seven Provinces against Ruzkovian rule together. Thus, in an ironic way, the decree is seen as a founding document contributing to a united Aborzhene identity. These indignant nobles, as a response to Yonwjjn's decree, convened in secret in the ruins of Barstowe Abbey in Norrland in December to decide on a course of action. At the end of the week in December 1204, the Barstowe Abbey Conference ended with the election of Duke Æthelwin of Bensmeathe as the de facto leader of a rebellion against Ruzkovian rule.

Administrative divisions

Aborzhenia is divided into eight Provinces. These Provinces function somewhat autonomously from the National government, controlling their own tax bases, parliaments, justice systems, legislatures, governors, and police systems separate from the federal systems.

In addition to the eight Provinces, the upscale neighborhood of Edælia also lies partially within the Aborzhene Capital District (ACD), which is legislated directly from the national government. Services like fire and medical care that cannot be effectively governed by the national government are provided by the Metropolitan Government of Port Saint Edwards, the city that surrounds the ACD and that the remainder of Edælia lies within.
