Rothgard is a sovereign country located in the northeast Thrismari bordering Inner Bammv Cite and Faragint with Nova Riata sea to the south. It has a population of 25,539,000 people with diverse culture and ethnicity spreading across the country. Its capital is Ostena, also the biggest city in the country.

Rothgard was inhabited by indigenous peoples from 3000 BCE. It was home to atleast 8 different major tribes/chiefdom for centuries such as the kār̒disan (native rothgan), Inthuras, Laddawan etc. Kakish colonizers arrived in the early to mid 18th century, eventually establishing colonies on the land. Altough they came peacefully, a slavery in the form of chattel slaves soon was enacted. Rothgard developed rapidly alongside Bammv Cite and became a suitable hub for trades from Southern Thuadia and Thrismari. The dominance of the segregation system, and slavery generated a wave of distrust emerged towards Kakish authority, causing the 1st war of independence war at 1812. The Kakish managed to quell the rebellion and the land was reorganized under the single administration of "Rothargia" with portion amount of territory secceded to Bammv Cite. Kakish rule would last until 1865 after the 2nd Independence war. Rothgard further suffered from two civil war both in 1920s and 1960s after coups and political turmoils.

The Anterian World Assembly designates Rothgard as a developing country. Although constitutionally a multi-party state, the political system de-facto centres around a single political party, the Phu Phitaks ("Orange Guide") Party. While per capita income remains low compared to most anterian countries, Rothgard has one of the fastest-growing economies in Thrismari. Agriculture remains the dominant economic sector, with strong growth in textiles, construction, garments, and tourism leading to increased foreign investment and international trade. Foreign observers have highlighted corruption, poverty and human rights as major issues in the country.

History

Pre-Colonization

Rothgard traces its history to the kingdom of R̆xṭh kār̒disan, which was founded in the 14th century by a Ra'x Fao, alongside the other 6 tribes: Warat, Inthura, Laddawan, Akrit Taira, Pnom-Hei, Kamp-chawan. Ra'x Fao, with 10,000 troops, conquered many indigenous principalities in the Lonna region, culminating in the capture of now called Ostena city. The kingdom was descended from a long line of tribesmen that traced back to 400 BC. He made Theravada Buddhism the state religion, and R̆xṭh kār̒disan prospered.
