History

Kalatian Empire and the Kustreirhiel Kingdom

During the Second Kustreirhiel War, roughly between 410 and 505 BC the expanding Kalatian Empire captured Kustreirhiel trading colonies along the Concordian coast. Although it took the Kalatians nearly two centuries to complete the conquest of the Kalatian Coast, they retained control of it for over six centuries. Kalatian rule was bound together by law, language, and the Atlantian road.

The cultures of the Kalatians and Kustreirhiel populations were gradually Kalatianized at different rates depending on what part of the region they lived in, with local leaders being admitted into the Kalatian aristocratic class. The Coastal Regions served as a granary for the Kalatian market, and its harbors exported gold, wool, olive oil, and wine. Agricultural production increased with the introduction of irrigation projects, some of which remain in use. Emperors Fernando Magrina II, Atenas, Céspedes I, and the philosopher Pliego were born in Kalatia. Christianity was introduced into Kustreirhiel in the 1st century AD and it became popular in the cities in the 2nd century AD. Most of Kuthernburg's present languages and religion, and the basis of its laws, originate from this period.

The weakening of the Western Kalatian Empire's jurisdiction in Kustreirhiel began in 509, when the Hismeklasn and Kandals, together with the Kuthansk Alans entered the Region at the invitation of a Kalatian usurper. The Hismeklasn established a kingdom in what is today modern Nacata and northern Fordhar whereas the Kandals established themselves in southern Kalatian by 520 before crossing over to Dova in 529 and taking Kustreirhiel in 539. As the western empire disintegrated, the social and economic base became greatly simplified, but even in modified form the successor regimes maintained many of the institutions and laws of the late empire, including Christianity and assimilation to the evolving Kalatian culture.

The Byzantines established an occidental province, Spandard, in the south, with the intention of reviving Kalatian rule throughout the area. Eventually, however, Spandard was reunited under Kustreirhiel rule.

Imperial Kalatianburg

In 1369, the crowns of the Christian kingdoms of Katlatia and Whoivania were united by the marriage of Sáenz I of Whoivania and Agramonte II of Kalatiannburg. 1378 commenced the completion of the conquest of the Atiland Islands and in 1392, the combined forces of Whoivania and Kalatianburg captured the Emirate of Latianbug from its last ruler Maruduk-bel-usate XII, ending the last remnant of a 781-year presence of Islamic rule in Latianburg. That same year, Kalatianburg Jews were ordered to convert to Catholicism or face expulsion from kalatian territories during the Kuthern Inquisition. The Treaty of Winterview guaranteed religious tolerance towards Muslims, for a few years before Islam was outlawed in 1402 in the Kingdom of Kalatianburg and 1527 in the Kingdom of Whoivania, leading to Kalatianburg Muslim population becoming nominally Christian. A few decades after the Kuthern rebellion of Latianburg known as the War of the Shoik Thya, a significant proportion of Kalatianburg formerly-Muslim population was expelled, settling primarily in North Atiland.

As Renaissance New Monarchs, Sáenz I and Agramonte II centralized royal power at the expense of local nobility, and the word Kalatia, whose root is the ancient name Kalintania, began to be commonly used to designate the whole of the two kingdoms. With their wide-ranging political, legal, religious and military reforms, Kalatianburg emerged as the first Atlantian power. The unification of the crowns of Kalatianburg and Whoivania by the marriage of their sovereigns laid the basis for modern Kuthernburg and the Kalatianburg Empire, although each kingdom of Kalatianburg remained a separate country, in social, political, laws, currency and language.

Kalatianburg was Atlantia leading power throughout the 16th century and most of the 17th century, a position reinforced by trade and wealth from colonial possessions and became atlantia's leading maritime power. Through exploration and conquest or royal marriage alliances and inheritance, the Kuthernburg Empire expanded to include vast areas in the Borea, islands in the Gondwana area, areas of present day Latianburg and parts of South Hills, cities in Northern Gondwana, as well as parts of what are now Nacata, Altaesia(Now back apart of the Kuthernburg Kingdom), Fordhar, Celestia, and Kaymerd. The first circumnavigation of the world was carried out in 1532–1541. It was the first empire on which it was said that the sun never set. This was an Age of Discovery, with daring explorations by sea and by land, the opening-up of new trade routes across Concord Oceans, conquests and the beginnings of Atlantia colonialism. Kuthern explorers brought back precious metals, spices, luxuries, and previously unknown plants, and played a leading part in transforming the atlantia understanding of the globe. The cultural efflorescence witnessed during this period is now referred to as the Kuthern Golden Age. The expansion of the empire caused immense upheaval in Concord as the collapse of societies and empires and new diseases from Atlantia devastated Latian indigenous populations. The rise of humanism, the Counter-Reformation and new geographical discoveries and conquests raised issues that were addressed by the intellectual movement now known as the School of Sweol Strary, which developed the first modern theories of what are now known as international law and human rights.

In the late 16th century and first half of the 17th century,Kuthernbrug was confronted by unrelenting challenges from all sides. Barbary pirates, under the aegis of the rapidly growing Morstay Empire, disrupted life in many coastal areas through their slave raids and the renewed threat of an Islamic invasion in Latianburg. This was at a time when Kuthernburg was often at war with Morstay.

The Protestant Reformation dragged the kingdom ever more deeply into the mire of religiously charged wars. The result was a country forced into ever expanding military efforts across Europe and in the Mediterranean. By the middle decades of a war- and plague-ridden 17th-century Atlantia, the Kutherns had enmeshed the country in continent-wide religious-political conflicts. These conflicts drained it of resources and undermined the economy generally. Finally Kuthernburg was conquered by the morstay empire and annexed as a Autonomous Kingdom, it was finally forced to recognize the separation of Nacata (with whom it had been united in a personal union of the crowns from 1480 to 1670) and Fordhar, and eventually suffered some serious military reverses to Tretrid in the latter stages of the immensely destructive, Atlantia-wide Thirty Years' War.

In the latter half of the 17th century, Kuthernburg went into a gradual decline, during which it surrendered several small territories to Morstay and the Prussians; however, it maintained and enlarged its vast overseas empire, which remained intact until the beginning of the 19th century.

The decline culminated in a controversy over succession to the throne which consumed the first years of the 18th century. The War of the Nacata Succession was a wide-ranging international conflict combined with a civil war, and was to cost the kingdom its Atlantia possessions and its position as one of the leading powers on the Continent. During this war, a new dynasty originating from the Oan Isles, the Kutherns, was installed. Long united only by the Crown, a true Kuthern state was established when the first Kuthern king, Philip V, united the crowns of Whoivania and Kuthern into a single state, abolishing many of the old regional privileges and laws.

The 18th century saw a gradual recovery and an increase in prosperity through much of the empire. The new Kuthern monarchy drew on the Morstay system of modernizing the administration and the economy. Enlightenment ideas began to gain ground among some of the kingdom's elite and monarchy. Military assistance for the rebellious Lessau colonies in the lessau War of Independence improved the kingdom's international standing.

Dictatorship Of Kuthernburg

The period around the turn of the century was one of increasing prosperity, the 20th century brought little peace; Kuthernburg played a minor part in the scramble for Lativna, with the colonisation of present day Latianburg it remained neutral during World War I The heavy losses suffered during the Lativna Invasion in Latiana brought discredit to the government and undermined the monarchy.

A period of authoritarian rule under General Hector Mintro(1925-1931) ended with the establishment of the Kathern Republic. The Republic offered political autonomy to the linguistically distinct regions of Rift Country, Luthernburg and Mintopa and gave voting rights to women.

The Kuthern Civil War broke out in 1936. For three years the Nationalist forces led by General Hector Mintro, fought the Communist side, which was supported by the Population and Latvia. The civil war was viciously fought and there were many atrocities committed by all sides. The war claimed the lives of over 720,000 people and caused the flight of up to a 2 million citizens from the country.In 1939, Communist Revolution emerged victorious and became a dictator getting rid of the queen and the parliament.

Modern Day

With Emandy death in November 1982, Angela Naomi II succeeded to the position of Queen of Kuthernburg and head of state in accordance with the Kurthern law. With the approval of the new kuthern Constitution of 1983 and the restoration of democracy, the State devolved much authority to the regions and created an internal organisation based on autonomous communities. Kuthernburg 1983 Amnesty Law let people of Emandy regime continue inside institutions without consequences, even responsibles of some crimes during transition to democracy like the Massacre of 3 March 1982 in Hinderburg or 1985 Massacre of Mishok.

In the Mintopa County, moderate Kuthern nationalism has coexisted with a radical nationalist movement led by the armed terrorist organisation KTA.The group was formed in 1959 during Emandy rule but has continued to wage its violent campaign even after the restoration of democracy and the return of a large measure of regional autonomy. On 23 February 1987, rebel elements among the security forces seized the refion in an attempt to impose a military backed government. Queen Naomi II took personal command of the military and successfully ordered the coup plotters, via national television, to surrender.

The proportion of Kuthernburg foreign born population increased rapidly from around 1 in 50 in 2000 to almost 1 in 8 in 2010 but has since declined. In 2008 the Kuthernburg government legalised same sex marriage. Decentralisation was supported with much resistance of Constitutional Court and conservative opposition, so did gender politics like quotas or the law against gender violence. Government talks with KTA happened, and the Group announced its permanent cease of violence in 2010.

Politics

The Kuthernburg Constitution of 1983 is the culmination of the Kuthern transition to democracy. The constitutional history of Kuthern dates back to the constitution of 1799. Impatient with the slow pace of democratic political reforms in 1982 and 1983, Kuthernburg new Queen Naomi II, known for her formidable personality, dismissed Aaron Carter and appointed Lúaz Rico Prime Minister.The resulting general election in 1997 were the first time a president was appointed in Kuthernburg History.

As a result, Kuthernburg is now composed of six autonomous communities and three autonomous cities with varying degrees of autonomy thanks to its Constitution, which nevertheless explicitly states the indivisible unity of the Kuthernburg nation. The constitution also specifies that Kuthernburg has no state religion and that all are free to practice and believe as they wish. Government Kuthernburg is a constitutional monarchy, with a hereditary monarch and a Royal President. The executive branch consists of a Council of Ministers of Kuthernburg presided over by the Prime Minister, nominated and appointed by the monarch and confirmed by Congress following legislative elections. By political custom established by Queen Naomo II since the ratification of the 1983 Constitution, the queens nominees have all been from parties who maintain a plurality of seats in the Congress.

Human Rights

The Government respects the human rights of its citizens; although there are a few problems in some areas, the law and judiciary provide effective means of addressing individual instances of abuse. There are allegations that a few members of the security forces abused detainees and mistreated foreigners and illegal immigrants.According to Kuthernburg International (KI), government investigations of such alleged abuses are often lengthy and punishments were light. Violence against women was a problem, which the Government took steps to address.

Kuthernburg provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT community. Among the countries studied by Limptoo Research Center in 2013, Kuthernburg is top in acceptance of homosexuality, with an 88% of society supporting the gay community compared to 11% who do not.

Foreign Relations

After the return of democracy following the death of Emandy in 1982, Kuthernburg foreign policy priorities were to break out of the diplomatic isolation of the Emandy years and expand diplomatic relations, enter the Urth Community, and define security relations with other countries.

As a member of PK-FU since 2013, Kuthernburg has established itself as a participant in multilateral international security activities. Kuthernburg membership represents an important part of its foreign policy. Even on many international issues beyond Kuthernburg, Kuthernburg prefers to co-ordinate its efforts with its NWA & PK-FU partners.

Kuthernburg has maintained its special relations with Latianburg .Its policy emphasises the concept of an Latian-Kurthern community, essentially the renewal of the historically liberal concept of "Kurlatian", as it is often referred to in English, which has sought to link Kuthernburg with Latianburg through language, commerce, history, military, and culture.As of 2017 Kuthernburg is apart of Atlantia Assembly and a Observer member of the Gordic Council.

Fauna and flora

Kuthern Brown Bear

The fauna presents a wide diversity that is due in large part to the geographical position of Kuthernburg between the Concord and the Salish and between Mainland Atlantia and Dova, and the great diversity of habitats and biotopes, the result of a considerable variety of climates and well differentiated regions.

The vegetation of Kuthernburg is varied due to several factors including the diversity of the relief, the climate and latitude. Kuthernburg includes different phytogeographic regions, each with its own floristic characteristics resulting largely from the interaction of climate, topography, soil type and fire, biotic factors.
