Unstable from the start, the [[battles:battxcivilwar|Battkhortian Civil War]] would see Battx fractured into multiple warring states. Eventually a peace was made and [[nations:west_battkhortia|West Battkhortostan]] would reunify with East Battkhortostan. Shortly after the civil war, Battkhortostan became embroiled in the [[battles:war_of_breshikan_succession|War of Breshikan Succession]], seeking to install K_Chris of House de Battkhort-Breshik onto the Breshikan throne. These events would ultimately culminate in the collapse of the Holy Breshikan Empire. It was around this time that Battkhortostan, in conjunction with the [[nations:katten|Katten Khanate]] and [[nations:dead:tora|Greater Toran Empire]], founded the [[nations:katten_khaganate|Katten Khaganate]]. Al-Iskandariya would in time become the //de facto// capital of the Katten Khaganate and principle city of the region. On April 11th, 2013, the Empire of Battkhortostan was declared, inheriting all responsibilities and titles of the Kingdom of Battkhortostan. ===== Geography ===== ^ {{:nations:landrunning.png?400}} ^ | Now in HD: The primary territory of Imperial Battkhortostan is shown in red, while that shown in yellow is of Kovanje Vrystaat, a territory of ambiguous ownership administrated jointly by Battkhortostan and the Katten Khanate. | ^{{http://i.imgur.com/e8fC7qY.png?600}}^ | Map of the Kingdom Battkhortostan, outdated | ^{{http://i.imgur.com/ZcjMjiD.png?600}}^ | Map of the former Kingdom of Battkhortostan, outdated | === Sub-divisions === //Eyalet of Al-Iskandariya//\\ [[settlements:Al-Iskandariya]]\\ [[settlements:Dukkha]]\\ //Eyalet of Gurkburk//\\ [[settlements:Gurkburk|Gurkburk]]\\ //Eyalet of Maleth//\\ [[settlements:Dogolandia]]\\ //Eyalet of Pollyanna//\\ [[settlements:Pollyanna|Pollyanna]]\\ [[settlements:Margaritaville]]\\ [[http://mc.dev-urandom.eu/map/#/-9995/64/10950/-2/0/0|Location of Battkhortostan]] ===== Politics ===== === Internal Politics === Battkhortostan is led primarily by the [[orders_and_guilds:orders:house_de_battkhort|House de Battkhort]], an aristocratic family headed by [[people:Sikandar]], the absolutist ruler of the state. In the absence of Sikandar, policy is to be set by the Regency Council comprising [[people:greenkitten]], [[people:K_Chris]], and [[people:mazznoff]]. Despite authoritarian rhetoric Battkhortostan has proven to be more democratic than any other nation. Anti-Yevism is a rampant in Battkhortostan. The terrorist group, the [[orders_and_guilds:orders:house_de_battkhort:benis|Bureau for the Ethical Neutralisation of Inferior Species (BENIS)]], is thought to be receiving covert sponsorship from [[people:K_Chris|corrupt Battkhorti government officials]]. === International Relations === [[nations:koviofreistaat|Kovanje]], [[settlements:Montequercus]], and [[settlements:Tel-Yeviv]] are protectorates and vassals of Battkhortostan. Battkhortostan (and its vassals) are constituent members of the Katten Khaganate, and Battkhortostan herself is a tribunal member. Battkhortostan has formed a [[treaties:battx-kriegstein-auri_mdp|mutual defensive pact]] jointly with [[nations:aurian_reich|Auri]] and [[nations:kriegsteinconsortium|Kriegstein]]. ===== Military ===== //See also: [[nations:battkhortostan:military_of_battkhortostan|Military of Battkhortostan]]// All nations fear the Battkhortstani wizard. ===== Economy ===== Battkhortostan sustains its inefficient economic programs with an endowment of minerals received as a gift from Allax at the very beginning of the map. The [[orders_and_guilds:guilds:mlp_nbb|National Bank of Battkhortostan]] maintains branches at spawn and Al-Iskandariya. It is the main competitor of the Bank of Kurwa. == Industry == Battkhortostan is a very large country with very few industrial centres. Whereas al-Iskandariya is a rich, bustling powerhouse, the rest of the nation lags behind (except see Kovanje and Dynstad). To remedy the situation, dear [[people:sikandar|Brother-Leader and Guide of the Revolution]] has called for flattening and large-scale industrialization of the Blasted Desert region to complement the agricultural sector being constructed in Gurkburk. | {{http://i.imgur.com/xHTfkIi.png}} | | From this map one can see the difference in light availability in Battkhortostan. | ===== Demographics ===== //See also: [[nations:battkhortostan:battx8:census|Battkhortostan census]]// Battkhortostan encourages [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCDMGu-xi30|blanda upp]] among its citizens, whites are in the minority and mixed-race children are the norm. ===== Culture ===== //See also: [[orders_and_guilds:orders:house_de_battkhort#Relics|Relics of Imperial Battkhortostan]]//\\ //See also: [[commendations:bxhonors|Honors of Imperial Battkhortostan]]// The [[nations:battkhortostan:battx4:hymn|Hymn of Butthurt]] is Battkhortostan's national anthem, written by [[people:K_chris|Killer_Chris]]. Battkhortostan's honors include the Order of Butthurt, awarded to those exhibiting extreme butthurt. As is common in socialistic societies, after a hard day of toiling in the potato fields and local GULAGs, the average Battkhortstani prefers to wind down by sampling some of the finest [[http://www.vice.com/read/north-korea-is-stoned-all-the-time-which-explains-a-lot|North Korean ganj]]. === Education === Battkhortostanis are indoctrinated with the official state ideology at the Battkhortostan National Academy of Arts and Sciences. === Religion === Most Battkhortians are followers of the haniffiya, or the true religion of Abraham, and are devotees of the prophet Muhammed and Allah. ===== Communication ===== Battkhortostanis and the Battkhortostan government can be reached through the talk pages of this wiki or our IRC channel: #battkhortostan #chat
