First a Premier, then a King, then a Khan, and now Sultan. The Battkhortomans reign supreme.

===== History =====
Upon the acquisition of the 10 000th iron ingot in the Battkhortostani coffers and the annexation of the protectorate of Dogolandia, Sikandar declared that his humble nation had become a sublime state by the will of Allah.

===== 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]].

Battkhortostan has multiple claims on the [[nations:kingdom_of_nova_avence|Kingdom of Breshik]] through Killer_Chris, Duke of Cumberland, head of House de Battkhort-Breshik, and pretender to the Breshikan throne. Additionally, Battkhortostan maintains claims on the territory of Montequercus on the continent of New Virginia.
===== Military =====

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.

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.
