The Íszkárì Diarchic Republics of Rázgrìz

The Diarchic Republics of Rázgrìz was established in 1719 through the signing of the Treaty of Pìkál, following the Námáwì Reformation led by Rámá Ákìálá Maszuká. The confederal structure of Rázgrìz comprises 15 tribal nations inhabiting the Tásztł Archipelago, along with four unincorporated territories. Spanning an area of 94,759.11 square miles (152,500 square kilometers), the nation boasts a diverse population estimated at 29,471,338 million according to the 2020 census.

The governance structure of the Diarchic Republics is characterized by the shared power and status of the Ráz (Grand Chief) and Rámá (Grand Chieftess). They hold relatively equal authority, with the Ráz overseeing foreign affairs and the Rámá focusing on domestic development. As commanders-in-chief of the military, they exert influence and possess the power to appoint and dismiss members of the Pátil (Council) while also possessing veto authority.

Following the collapse of the Confederation, Rázgrìz has experienced a gradual polarization among its populace between two major factions: the religious Mánáwlì and the secular Tìānæ. This internal struggle reflects the nation's search for its identity and role in the future of The Western Isles (TWI). Industries such as transportation, healthcare, tourism, manufacturing, and information technology play significant roles in Rázgrìz's economy. While the nation embraces a mixed-market economy, the state retains control over sectors like education, agriculture, domestic transportation, energy, and defense.

In terms of foreign policy, Rázgrìz places a strong emphasis on maintaining relationships with former colonies (Nhoor, Martenyika, and The United Partitions)and its long-standing ally, Roendavar., within the Iskarsphere. Outside the Iskarsphere, the Gaelitic 3; consisting of The United Republics of Dormil & Sturia, Great Altera and Ainslie, also serve as the primary markets for Rázgrìz since the Gaelic Financial Crash in the 1980s.

Rázgrìz's strategic focus on the southern route of the trans-Argus Tinszin Trail, circumnavigating Martenyika, is driven by its logistics, healthcare, and pharmaceutical corporations. The nation's Tourism agencies have seen rapid growth due to bipartisan efforts within the government and the presence of untapped markets within established trade partners. However, Rázgrìz faces challenges along the northern routes of the trail, which circumnavigate Gael. This poses a significant concern for the Tìānæ faction and the current administration, which has held power over foreign affairs since the administration of Ráz Mìhìs in 2004. The Tìānæ's strategy for expanding Rázgrìz's influence in the Argean region centers on its relationship with the Doraltic Republics. This engagement has led to a political divide within Rázgrìz as Doraltic influence continues to grow within the Southern Sea.

The term Rázgrìz holds its origins in the Uszìān language, spoken within the Íszkárì Confederation. It is derived from two Uszìān words: "Ráz," meaning "grand" or "great chief," and "Grìz," which translates to "land." Together, Rázgrìz symbolizes the land where the Ráz or Rámá, the highest-ranking officials of the Confederation, reside during their tenure.

Similarly, the term Tásztł, meaning "Thousand Stars," originates from the Kræcì translation of the Ipachi term "Kìnár," which also carries the same meaning. Over time, the Corinthusi people mistranslated "Kìnár" to "Iszkár," which eventually led to the name "Iszkárìz." The terms were inspired by the Isle's abundance of bioluminescent Dinoflagellates and the radiant cultures that have developed in the region.

When referring to the nation itself, the terms Rázgrìz, Tásztł, and Iszkárìz are all interchangeable and widely accepted, highlighting the fluidity and cultural diversity within the Íszkárì Confederation. These terms evoke a sense of pride and reverence for the land, its leadership, and the vibrant bioluminescent environment that characterizes the region. However, when referring to the people of the nation, the demonyms Tásztłì and Iszkárì are preferred.

In the vast expanse of the Eastern seas lies an enchanted archipelago known as Rázgrìz, a captivating island nation located to the east of the majestic island of Loráðunôsz (Gael). Stretching across the majority of the Tásztł Archipelago, Rázgrìz boasts a diverse and breathtaking landscape that draws travelers from far and wide to explore its wonders.

At the heart of Rázgrìz lies its most imposing geographical feature - the Nìtáw (Cloud) mountains, which span along the core of the largest island, Ūszìkál. These mountains serve as not only a mesmerizing sight but also a natural divider, separating the nation's western and eastern regions. Among these grand peaks, one stands above the rest in both stature and significance - Mt. Lækìszku. Its lofty peak soars to an impressive height of 5,641 meters (18,507.22 feet), touching the very heavens and beckoning adventurers to conquer its challenging slopes.

As travelers venture through Rázgrìz, they are greeted by a striking contrast in climate between its northern and southern reaches. In the north, the nation embraces the charms of an oceanic climate (Cfb) with cool temperatures and refreshing sea breezes. Here, average temperatures hover between 2.778°C to 25°C (37°F to 77°F), and the landscape is graced with verdant forests, lush meadows, and sparkling streams that meander gracefully through the terrain.

Journeying southwards, the climate undergoes a transformation, bestowing upon the traveler a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) with its warm embrace. In these lands, the average temperatures range from 7.778°C to 31.667°C (46°F to 89°F). Here, sun-kissed beaches, fertile plains, and exotic flora thrive, creating a paradise where life flourishes in abundance.

Population
According to the quinquennial census taken in 2020, Rázgrìz has approximately of 29,471,338 million people living within its borders. The Íszkárì Diarchic Republics is an ethnically diverse country, with around 107 distinct ethnic groups, divided into 11 major groupings native to the Íszkárì Isles. Most Íszkárì are of Uszíān origin, a people who were introduced alongside the Káðrì (Corinthusi natives stranded on the Isles after the collapse of the empire) during that of the Petal Invasions of the Corinthusi, and are believed to have originated from what is now Western Wellsia. Another major grouping is the Kræcì, who mainly inhabit the northern and central portions of the Isles of Íszkárìa. A sense of Íszkárì nationhood exists alongside strong tribal identities.

Language
The Uszíāns are the largest ethnic group, constituting 16.8% of the population, despite this, political dominance is spread out rather evenly amongst themselves and the other ethnic groups. The Uszíāns are predominantly located in the central to southern parts of the Íszkárìan Isles and also boast sizeable numbers in the north of the Isles and the realm of Yitì. The Vidæhán and Ípácì (Ipachi) peoples are the next largest groups, with both sitting at 15.3%, followed by the Kræcì, Káðrì, Kászrátì, Murmì, Hárìkì, Mækurì, and Newa people.

The nation's official language is Uszíān, a now bastardized variant of old Uszíān as a result of centuries-long contact with the other 5 other prominent languages within the Íszkárìan Isles, which had been the archipelago's lingua franca since the establishment of the League of Káðō-Táhì. Nearly every Íszkárì, regardless of national origin, speaks the language due to its widespread use in education, academics, communications, business, politics, and mass media amongst the former member states of the Íszkárì Confederation. Most Íszkárì also speak at least one of more than 12 local languages as often as their first language.

Religion
In the radiant tapestry of Rázgrìz's cultural and spiritual landscape, two dominant religions weave their intricate threads, shaping the beliefs and values of the nation's populace.

Xákūìmál: The Radiant Path of Protacism

Xákūìmál, the radiant path of Protacism, has stood as the beating heart of Rázgrìz's spiritual fabric since the remarkable year of 178 CE. Born from the convergence of ancient traditions and spiritual wisdom, this variant of Protacism found fertile ground in the hearts of the Diarchic Republics and their predecessors. Embraced by a significant majority, Xákūìmál's teachings espouse principles of unity, harmony, and reverence for nature.

The sacred temples of Xákūìmál grace the landscape of Rázgrìz, their elegant spires reaching toward the heavens. Devotees gather within these hallowed walls to seek solace, guidance, and a deeper connection with the divine. Priests, esteemed scholars of the faith, share ancient scriptures and sacred texts, guiding their followers along the virtuous path.

The annual Festival of Light marks a momentous occasion in the Xákūìmál calendar, celebrating the triumph of enlightenment over darkness. During this vibrant festival, the nation comes alive with resplendent lanterns, glowing candles, and joyous processions that illuminate the night skies.

Oelasthiriasi: Threads of Faith from the West

Oelasthiriasi, a variant of Protacism that traces its origins to the distant lands of Argus, was introduced to Rázgrìz's predecessors in 1253 CE. From the moment its teachings touched the shores of Rázgrìz, this spiritual tradition took root and flourished, nurtured by strong historical, cultural, and economic ties between the two regions.

The temples of Oelasthiriasi, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant frescoes, offer a place of refuge for both western immigrants and native Íszkárí adherents. The soothing aroma of incense fills the air as prayers and chants reverberate through the sacred spaces, uniting the hearts of the faithful.

The Festival of Blossoms, a cherished celebration in Oelasthiriasi, pays homage to the beauty of nature and the fleeting nature of life. Delicate cherry blossoms unfurl like delicate pink and white clouds, symbolizing renewal and the impermanence of all things.

A Melting Pot of Faith: Harmony Amidst Diversity

Beyond the dominant religions of Xákūìmál and Oelasthiriasi, Rázgrìz embraces a rich tapestry of diverse beliefs and spiritual practices. Minority religions coexist peacefully, with forms of Christianity, Protacism, and Buddhism adding their vibrant hues to the nation's spiritual canvas.

In a spirit of tolerance and understanding, Íszkárí honor the right of each individual to follow their chosen path of faith. Interfaith dialogues and shared ceremonies bridge the gaps between different religious communities, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation.

Throughout the year, festivals and celebrations from various faiths dot the nation's calendar, creating a vibrant mosaic of cultural exchange and communal celebration. In this land where diversity blooms, the essence of Rázgrìz's national identity lies not in the dominance of one religion but in the harmonious symphony of its varied spiritual traditions.

Overview
The Íszkárì Diarchic Republics of Rázgrìz is a unique constitutional confederal parliamentary diarchic republic comprised of 15 constituent tribes and a migrating federal district. The federal district is currently based in Mírik Szil, serving as the temporary seat of government until 2028. Although officially designated as a republic, Rázgríz operates under a mixed government model that combines the elements of a strong diarchy with aspects of a republic and democracy. This intricate system ensures a balance of power and representation within the nation.

Rázgríz divides its federal power among three distinct branches of government:

The Diarchy: At the core of Rázgríz's government lies the Diarchy, composed of the Ráz (Grand Chief) and Rámá (Grand Chieftess). This diarchic system grants significant authority to the Ráz and Rámá, who oversee and guide the nation's affairs. The Ráz primarily focuses on foreign affairs, representing Rázgríz on the international stage, while the Rámá concentrates on domestic development and governance. Together, they form the executive branch of the government.

The Námáwí Assembly: The Námáwí Assembly represents the republican aspect of Rázgríz's government. It serves as the legislative body, composed of representatives from the 15 constituent tribes. The Námáwí Assembly plays a vital role in crafting and passing laws, ensuring that the voices and interests of each tribe are represented in the decision-making process. This assembly upholds the principles of democracy and participatory governance within the diarchic structure.

The Ring of Seers: The Ring of Seers symbolizes the democratic element in Rázgríz's government. It functions as an advisory and judicial body, consisting of wise and knowledgeable individuals selected from various sectors of society. The members of the Ring of Seers provide guidance and counsel to the Diarchy and the Námáwí Assembly, helping to shape policies and resolve conflicts. Their role is crucial in ensuring fair governance and upholding the principles of justice and equity.

This tripartite division of power within the government of Rázgríz fosters checks and balances, ensuring that no single branch holds excessive control. It reflects the nation's commitment to a system that values the diarchic leadership, republican representation, and democratic principles. The unique blend of diarchy, republic, and democracy in Rázgríz's government structure is a testament to the nation's desire for a balanced and inclusive system of governance. It seeks to honor the diverse cultural heritage of the constituent tribes while providing effective leadership and decision-making for the entire confederation.

Executive

The Diarchic Republics of Rázgrìz are a unique political entity, characterized by its system of two co-rulers, or diarchs, who govern the country jointly. The diarchs are elected from among the highest tiers of the constituent tribes and serve for life, with one male and one female, the Ráz, as the head of the Foreign Affairs department, is responsible for maintaining diplomatic relations with other nations and negotiating treaties and agreements on behalf of Íszkárì. They oversee the nation's foreign aid programs and worked to promote trade and economic development with other countries.

The Rámá, as the head of the Domestic Development department, was responsible for overseeing the nation's infrastructure, education, healthcare, and social welfare programs. They worked to ensure that all citizens had access to basic necessities and services, and also implemented policies aimed at promoting economic growth and job creation.

Beneath them is the Council of the Pátil and its 15 members. Members of this council serve as expert advisors and assist in the oversight of their respective ministries. Appointed by either the Ráz, Rámá, or both the Pátil serve as the guiding “hands” of the Ráz & Rámá and have the ability to send legislation back down to the Námáwì Assembly if they find it unsuitable for the Diarchs to handle.

Overall, the executive branch of the Íszkárì government was designed to be highly inclusive and representative of the diverse needs and interests of the population. By having three separate heads of state with distinct responsibilities, the government was able to address a wide range of issues and ensure that all aspects of society were adequately supported and developed.

Legislature

Continuing the legacy of its predecessors, the modern Íszkárì legislature, called the Námáwì Assembly, is a bicameral body split into 2 chambers based around the former political entities of Káðōsz and Táhì. The assembly consists of a total of 451 members appointed by the lower tiers of each tribe. The Assembly meet biannually to discuss and pass laws that affected the entire league, including issues related to trade, warfare, and resource management.

The Assembly is responsible for electing the Chief Speaker, who acts as the mediator between the two leagues and the executive branch of government, as well as presided over meetings. The Chief Speaker served a four-year term and was chosen from among the members of the Assembly.

In addition to its legislative duties, the Assembly also plays a key role in resolving disputes between tribes, when elevated from the Ring of Seers. When conflicts arise, representatives from each tribe will meet with the Assembly to negotiate a peaceful resolution.

The Námáwì Assembly is a vital component of The Íszkárì Diarchic Republics of Rázgrìz, ensuring that the needs and concerns of all member tribes are represented and addressed.

Judicial

The Council of Tákíxká consists of fifteen judges appointed by the Ráz and Rámá, and is responsible for interpreting the constitution and issuing rulings on legal disputes between citizens, as well as handling cases involving government officials.

Lower federal courts, including district and appellate courts, handle more routine legal matters and are presided over by judges appointed by either the Ráz or Rámá. These judges are subject to regular performance reviews and can be removed from office if deemed unfit to serve.

The Námáwí Reformation also established a system of laws and legal codes that govern all aspects of life in the country, ranging from criminal law to property rights to commercial transactions. These laws are enforced by a professional police force and supplemented by a network of community watch groups that help maintain public safety and order.

The Ring of Seers

Independent from the Federal Government is The Ring of Seers, which consists of of a total of 32 members - 30 democratically elected members and 2 appointed via the Temple. There are 15 Komáz & 15 Komá in correspondence to the number of constituent tribes within the existing confederation, and 2 Ūtáwyōmæ - a High priest and priestess, whose duty it is to provide oversight for the religious affairs of the nation and provide guidance and personal council to members the Ring of Seers.

The Komás and Komæs who make up the Ring of Seers are highly respected members of their respective tribes, chosen for their wisdom, knowledge, and integrity. While the Ūtáwyōmæ are believed to have a direct connection with the spirits and are able to communicate with them to gain insight into the future.

The Ring of Seers also play a vital role in the intertribal decision-making process of the of each constituent tribe. When decisions need to be made, whether it be ceremonial, economic or religious, the Komás and Komæs will come together to discuss the matter and provide their guidance. Their insights and advice are highly valued and often taken into consideration by the rest of the government.

Foreign Relations & Military

See Main Article: Foreign Affairs of the Íszkárì The Íszkárì Diarchic Republics
See Main Article: The Íszkárrátì or Íszkárì Armed Forces (Íszkárrátì)

The Íszkárrátì, also known as the Íszkárì Armed Forces, is the principal military organization responsible for safeguarding the Diarchic Republics of Rázgríz and protecting its interests. Comprised of five integral components, the Íszkárrátì represents a formidable defense force, dedicated to maintaining the nation's security and territorial integrity. Here's an expanded lore for the military overview:

Íszkárì Navy (Fórmá's Guardians): The Íszkárì Navy is the maritime branch of the Íszkárrátì, tasked with safeguarding Rázgríz's coastal waters and territories. Comprising a formidable fleet of ships and submarines, the Navy plays a crucial role in maritime defense, border patrol, and supporting naval operations. It ensures the nation's sovereignty in the seas and is instrumental in protecting vital trade routes and conducting international naval engagements.

Coral Guard (Sentinels of Sászin): The Coral Guard is a specialized component of the Íszkárrátì, dedicated to the defense of the Tásztł Archipelago and its surrounding territories. Operating both on land and in the coastal regions, the Coral Guard protects Rázgríz's territorial integrity and is responsible for maintaining security within the islands. Their extensive knowledge of the archipelago's geography and unique natural features makes them adept at conducting operations in their homeland.

Health Service (Breath of Xálmìnōk): The Íszkárì Health Service, while not a conventional military component, holds immense importance in ensuring the wellbeing of the Armed Forces and the nation's populace. During times of peace and conflict, the Health Service plays a vital role in maintaining the physical and mental health of the military personnel, as well as supporting civilian populations during times of crises and disasters.

Special Operations Command (Whispers of Xálmìnōk): The Special Operations Command is an elite and highly trained unit within the Íszkárrátì, tasked with handling special missions, counterterrorism operations, and intelligence gathering. Comprising highly skilled soldiers, this secretive unit operates in the shadows, executing critical assignments that require precision, stealth, and exceptional training.

The Íszkárì Joint Military Commission (IJMC) acts as the apex authority overseeing the Armed Forces, responsible for strategic planning, coordination, and decision-making. It is chaired by the Ráz and Rámá of the Diarchic Republics, serving as the High Chieftains of the Armed Forces. Working in unison with the IJMC, the Ministries of the Navy (MoN), Coral Guard (MoG), and Health and Human Services (MoHHS) help form military policies and provide specialized expertise within their respective domains.

The Íszkárrátì stands as a symbol of national strength, unity, and readiness to defend Rázgríz's sovereignty. Its ability to adapt to a wide range of threats and challenges, along with the dedicated leadership and oversight from the Ráz and Rámá, ensures that the Diarchic Republics possess a formidable and well-prepared military force.

---

The Íszkárì is economy is a broadly diversified and highly developed mixed-market economy, mainly fueled by its transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, and tourism sectors. Its firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in the areas of logistics, computers, healthcare and pharmaceuticals. The Diarchic Republics's largest trading partners are Nhoor, Martenyika, Askusia, The United Partitions, Roendavar, Havalland, Aeteros,Dormill and Stiura, Ainslie, and Uprea. It also has free trade agreements with several countries, primarily with those that fall within what is often dubbed the 'Íszkárìsphere', which itself is made up of the former states of the Confederation.

The majority of Rázgrìz's suitable farmland has been repurposed for use by its secondary, tertiary, and quaternary industries. Because of this, Rázgrìz has mainly relied on the importation of agricultural goods from Dormill and Stiura to supplement its domestic agricultural needs since the mid-1970s. However, in recent years, an expanded Doraltic presence in the Formárinð (Southern Sea) has caused many government officials to pressure the Ráz into searching for a new primary exporter.

Currency
The official currency of the Íszkárì Diarchic Republics is the Ísk (Ӝ), which replaced the Íkrì in 1719.

Kálìmæyá System

The Kálìmæyá System was established as a response to the aftermath of the War of Three Serpents, a conflict that shook the Íszkárì Confederation and brought about the realization of the encroaching Vendrithosi threat. The primary goal of the system was to foster a more unified Íszkárì identity, ensuring the strength and resilience of the confederation in the face of external challenges. The Kálìmæyá System organized the Íszkárì population into tiers, offering a hierarchical structure that determined the political privileges and opportunities available to individuals. Upon reaching adulthood at the age of 16, citizens of each tribe and nation were assigned one of the seven tiers, which later reduced to six tiers after the establishment of the Confederation.

The system provided a framework for recognizing and rewarding the contributions and capabilities of individuals within their respective communities. As Íszkárì individuals grew and developed their skills, talents, and effectiveness as members of their tribe and nation, their tier had the potential to rise. This upward mobility allowed them to enjoy increased political privileges, such as the right to vote and the ability to run for office.

The highest tiers within the Kálìmæyá System held the most significant political roles within the Íszkárì Confederation. Two years after reaching adulthood, individuals from the highest tiers were eligible to run for the offices of the Ráz and Rámá, who respectively oversaw foreign affairs and domestic affairs. This ensured that the head of state positions were filled by individuals who had demonstrated exceptional leadership, experience, and dedication to their tribe and nation.

The Kálìmæyá System aimed to create a meritocratic society, where political privileges and responsibilities were earned through individual achievement and the advancement of the collective good. It encouraged Íszkárì individuals to continually develop their skills, contribute to their communities, and actively participate in the political processes of their tribe and nation. By providing opportunities for political engagement and recognition, the Kálìmæyá System fostered a sense of unity and shared purpose among the Íszkárì population. It encouraged individuals to take pride in their tribe and nation, while also promoting cooperation and collaboration across different groups within the confederation. Overall, the Kálìmæyá System played a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of the Íszkárì Confederation. It provided a framework for political participation, incentivized individual growth and achievement, and ultimately aimed to create a more cohesive and resilient confederation in the face of external threats.

Calander

The Traditional Íszkárí Calendar is a unique lunar-based calendar system that reflects the cultural and mythological beliefs of the Íszkárì people. It follows a cyclical pattern based on the movements of celestial bodies and the representation of various natural elements and mythological figures.

The calendar consists of 12 lunar months, each corresponding to a specific deity or celestial entity. Additionally, a 13th leap month is added periodically to align the lunar calendar with the solar year. New Year's always occurs in the summer season, marking the beginning of a new cycle.

The months of the Traditional Íszkárí Calendar are represented by Cálá, the primary goddess associated with the moon, and her 11 children. Xálmínōk, a deity associated with both death and fertility, has two months dedicated to their representation. Each month symbolizes the unique characteristics and attributes associated with the corresponding deity or celestial body.

Weeks in the calendar are divided into five groups, each comprising six days. These weeks are represented by different elements, reflecting the importance of the natural world in the Íszkárì culture. The last week of the calendar is further divided into "days of death" and "days of life," emphasizing the cyclical nature of existence and the interconnectedness of these contrasting forces.Days within the calendar are represented by the children of various mythological figures. Rhón, associated with the sun and fire, symbolizes vitality and energy. Rhæá, representing the earth, signifies stability and grounding. Forma/Rhô, embodying the moon and sea, conveys the ebb and flow of life's rhythms. Ásztárá, associated with air and void, represents the ethereal and transcendent aspects of existence. Lastly, Xálmínōk represents both death and fertility, encompassing the transformative nature of life and its cycles.

In 1976, Rázgríz transitioned to using a different calendar system, known as the "insert TWI Calendar Name Here," for practical purposes. However, the Íszkárí Calendar still holds significance within the culture and is retained for ceremonial and traditional observances in Rázgríz and other regions of the Íszkárì Confederation.

The Traditional Íszkárí Calendar not only serves as a practical tool for timekeeping but also preserves the rich mythology, spiritual beliefs, and cultural heritage of the Íszkárì people. It reflects their deep connection with nature, celestial bodies, and the divine, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and the importance of balance and harmony within the universe.
