Rakir Nations Overview

1. Kratori Empire

Massive territory and resources but plagued by corruption and instability. Economy relies on pillaging, and peasants suffer under oppressive taxes. Nobles enrich themselves while the army demands higher pay, and mages separate from the emperor’s control. The empire faces uprisings, a weak economy, and political unrest akin to the Ottoman Empire in the 1900s.

2. Kingdom of Arlingt

Devastated by war with Kratori, food shortages and economic collapse plague the kingdom. A Kratorian puppet king faces rebellion from nobles and citizens. Many flee to the Ardorian Kingdom, while others attempt to resolve the crisis or plot revolution.

3. Kingdom of Karii

Stable and prosperous, but burdened by refugees and economic instability from its Kratorian ally. Influential merchants push for parliamentary reform, but their influence remains limited.

4. Ardorian Kingdom

An isolated and neutral state due to the 954 Treaty of Zharnichen with Kratori. Internal factions call for opening the kingdom to trade and ending isolation.

5. Oltara Ecclesiarchy

A devout Christian state with a history of religious wars. Currently rebuilding after border clashes with the Khanate of Lorthal.

6. Kingdom of Vireth

Highly unstable due to increasing public support for democratic ideals. Secret armed groups threaten the monarchy, waiting for any misstep to incite revolution.

7. Republic of Kalruna

Barely holding together, with unchecked radical parties causing political turmoil.

8. Khanate of Lorthal

Stable but divided, functioning as a loose coalition under one leader. Aims to spread Irshah but is checked by Oltara on its border.

9. Navari Kingdom

Stable but struggling with refugees and a stagnant economy. Admirals seek military reforms to improve marine recruitment, while the economy transitions from pillaging to stability.

2. Eldoria

Political Situation: Eldoria's elf tribes are in the Bronze Age, with frequent skirmishes among them. Political structures are minimal, centered around tribal leadership and resource control.

3. Zarathia

4. Dzurasha Clan

Nomadic guides for hire, offering safe passage across Zarathia. Their neutrality and lack of formal structure protect them from conflict, as they are indispensable to other tribes.

2. Alariciansin Tribe

The dominant tribe, resembling the Mongolian Empire. They serve as nominal leaders of Zarathia, with regional tribes paying tribute but acting autonomously, similar to the Holy Roman Empire. Betrayals and power struggles are common, but their central authority remains strong enough to resist Rakir’s influence.

3. Rnuczrian Warriors

Elite warriors pledged to the Alariciansin tribe. Their culture revolves around combat, making them highly militaristic. Though loyal, their penchant for inciting conflicts adds instability to the region.

4. Gurashan Tribe

Religious extremists advocating Zarathian demon supremacy and the spread of Irshah through "continent purification." They are responsible for half of Zarathia’s wars but remain stable internally, united by their ideology.

Economic Situation (National Scale)

1. Rakir

1.2. Kratori Empire The economy, once reliant on resource exports, now barely survives through pillaging and internal trade. Noble-driven commerce and limited partnerships with the Kingdom of Karii help sustain it, but heavy exploitation of peasants and constant wars exacerbate the collapse. Border raids on the Navari Kingdom provide temporary relief but no long-term stability.

1.3. Kingdom of Arlingt This puppet state's economy has imploded due to crop failures, leading to mass unemployment and merchant exodus. The king’s heavy taxes further choke the economy, while the nobility lacks the resources or power to enact meaningful reforms.

1.4. Kingdom of Karii Karii boasts a diverse and thriving economy, resilient even as one of its main trade partners, the Kratori Empire, falters. Its diversified market and international trade connections provide stability and growth.

1.5. Ardorian Kingdom Self-sufficient but stagnant, the Ardorian Kingdom’s isolationist policies prevent economic growth. While its resource wealth keeps the nation functional, its refusal to engage in trade stymies potential development.

1.6. Oltara Ecclesiarchy Theocratic zeal has drained the Ecclesiarchy’s economy. Failed Crusades against Zarathia, corruption scandals, and declining religious donations have depleted their treasury. Reliant on Virethian trade and tithes, they face mounting external pressures and internal unrest.

1.7. Kingdom of Vireth Vireth’s agrarian economy, reliant on fertile farmlands, suffers from droughts and poor harvests. Growing public dissatisfaction with monarchy and tensions with the Republic of Kalruna disrupt trade, weakening the economy further.

1.8. Republic of Kalruna Despite its strong navy and trade routes, internal political chaos destabilizes Kalruna’s economy. Radical factions hinder cohesive economic strategies, reducing trade revenue and increasing unemployment. Struggles to modernize the navy for trade protection add financial strain.

1.9. Khanate of Lorthal Religious zeal for spreading Irshahism dominates Lorthal’s economy. Reliant on nomadic herding, trade, and plunder, their military campaigns drain resources and hinder domestic development. Failed expansions have left their economy fragile and unsustainable.

1.10. Navari Kingdom A naval powerhouse, Navari’s economy thrives on maritime trade but faces financial strain from maintaining a massive fleet. High taxes burden the population, and the kingdom’s reliance on trade makes it vulnerable to market disruptions.

2. Eldoria

Overview: The continent of Eldoria has no centralized economy. Its society is built around tribes that rely on bartering, exchanging goods and services rather than using any form of currency.

3. Zarathia

3.1. Dzurasha Clan:

The Dzurasha Clan thrives on its unique mastery of sand magic, which they use to navigate and guide traders and other tribes through the perilous deserts of Zarathia. Their economy is service-based, charging high fees for their expertise. However, this reliance on trade flows makes their financial stability precarious, as wars or trade route shifts severely impact their income. In lean times, they fall back on subsistence farming and localized trade.

3.2. Alariciansin Tribe:

As the largest tribe in Zarathia, the Alariciansin Tribe wields control over key inter-continental trade routes between Rakir and Zarathia. They impose tariffs and tolls, though enforcement is inconsistent, leading to significant revenue losses. The tribe also profits from hiring out their elite Kahirskian riders as mercenaries. Despite their wealth, internal betrayals and external conflicts drain resources, making their economy robust but fragile.

3.3. Rnuczrian Warriors:

The Rnuczrian Warriors maintain a spartan, conflict-driven economy. With little agricultural or trade production, they rely on raiding, pillaging, and guerrilla tactics for sustenance. Resources are evenly distributed among the warriors due to their matriarchal culture. During peacetime, the tribe struggles with poverty and famine, though they often bolster their economy by serving as mercenaries. Their economy's success is directly tied to their state of war.

3.4. Gurashan Tribe:

The Gurashan Tribe’s economy is intrinsically tied to their militant and religious ideology. Their control of vast oil reserves, deemed "Azlah’s Dead Punishment," sustains their war-driven society. These resources are weaponized rather than traded, fueling their near-constant conflicts aimed at "continent purification" in service to their god, Azlah. The tribe’s economy is self-sufficient, with resources acquired through conquest and plunder. Their internal stability and unyielding devotion to their cause keep their economy focused on sustaining their warfare and religious practices.

Most Recognized Religions:

Christianity: Originating in 456, a Christian fanatic was accidentally summoned through Manum Mecha experiments. He wrote the Bible from memory, establishing a church that later dominated Rakir. The Bible was updated by subsequent Holy Priests. Christianity is the dominant religion in Rakir.

Irshah: An Islamic-like religion founded in 287 by a female sand mage, who followed the sand spirits to a vortex, where she encountered Azlah, the god who created Zarathia. She spent 10 years listening to Azlah before spreading his teachings through the deserts.

Shizorikyuko - Teaching of Nature: A Shinto-like religion followed by elves in Eldoria, worshiping the "Kings of Elemental Spirits." Tribes in Eldoria honor one of the 13 spirits: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Nature, Lightning, Metal, Sand, Light, Darkness, Mana, Balance, or Love. This religion is only practiced in Zarathia.
