Kingdom Of Anakrion (ænˈækriˈo:n)

The most powerful nation in the Omega-Aerutka star system, and thus also Ochtotne Prime. Ultimately a Cellean-descended nation, with many cultural elements and militaristic traditions inherited from it. Home of Quaken, place of residence of Skejon, and main region for Mad's Organization.  

History

Origin

Ultimately, the Kingdom of Anakrion, as so many others, descends from the Cellean autocratic space. Refugees fleeing the chaos of the Slow Collapse of the empire made their way from near-core Cellean regions, and eventually settled in on the rim of human space, a small system now called Omega-Aurutka.  

Torgallon

The history of the Kingdom of Anakrion begins with the dreams of two people, Faestos Termen and Scintil Karkena. Initially, Torgallon was alone as a habitat-state like millions of others throughout human space. Scintil, along with his already long-time friend and advisor Faestos, would climb the ranks to the de-facto leader of the state, and eventually champion for a city to be founded on the planet's surface.   It would take a decade or so, but this dream would come true one day. In 2691, the city of Lanfal City was founded, and with it, Scintil decided to push for a new full nation to be founded, named after the continent the new city stood on; Anakrion. And so, the nation of the Kingdom of Anakrion was properly founded, and the first King of Anakrion officially sworn in, taking on a new name; Rexaen Prim.  

Post-Founding

Over the two centuries after the founding of the nation, the Kingdom would grow and expand, on the planet and in orbit. Many formerly independent city- and habitat-states were, most often, conquered and integrated, such as Seaside and Starside. The history of the Kingdom of Anakrion is marked by war, from a large war in the 2810s to the various city-state conquests, including those of New Suterr. From larger wars like the second invasion of New Suterr or the skirmishes over the eastern Mediteran coast to the far smaller first and third invasions of New Suterr and the other city-states.

Politics

Demographics

The population of the Kingdom of Anakrion numbers somewhere near 14 million people, mostly centered around the major population centers of the 13 territories, especially Torgallon, Lanfal City, and Diendam. As the trend of the planet goes, the population is nearly exclusive synthetic, and the human population makes up barely more than a rounding error, at a total of seven or so thousand people.  

Governance

The Kingdom of Anakrion is, at the very base, a sort of democratically elected dictatorship. A King of Anakrion has a term of 50 years, and is elected by a vote from the entire populace. This King has absolute power on paper, but does effectively have to heed to word of the The Advisory Council, a council consisting of 39 councilors from across the nation.  

Territories

13 major settlements make up the Kingdom of Anakrion. Eight in orbit, and five planetside. As follows:
In orbit; Torgallon, Incandule, Corinthin, Rock-Bastille, Starside, Illiastione, New Rome, Casi 922.
Planetside; Lanfal City, New Lanzarote, Diendam, Seaside and Napiel. The cities and habitats serve various purposes, from regular old population centers to mining and refining habitats like Corinthin or military-focused cities like Diendam or Napiel.   The nations also includes a number of smaller settlements and installations here and there. From the few military outposts past the Dertii Mountain Range to the mining facilities in the planet's ring delivering resources to Corinthin, they vary. The Kingdom also controls the largest shipyard in orbit, where the two heaviest ships of its fleet are kept.  

Internal

Anakrionian politics are relatively straightforward. The King has, ultimately, absolute power, though in more than a few cases, that power is delegated to other people; often members of the Advisory Council or local leaders.   There are sorts of political parties in the political landscape of Anakrion, though they are more rough coalitions and alliances of the councilors of the Advisory council. Generally, a King is almost always elected from a position within the Council, though the current King, Rexilis, is a notable exception, having never served in the council and instead as the Kings' close advisor. This in fact helped him substantially, even more so than a Council position would have.   Large companies also hold a position in politics, though only a influence-based one; they ultimately have no official say. The mining guilds of Corinthin are influential on the nation as a whole, though mostly focused on local politics, and the transport company of Aerutka-orbital Conveyance handles not only both of the Cyclers between Ochtotne Prime and Jett, but also not-insignificant amounts of Ochtotne Prime's orbital traffic.   The country is largely self-sufficient in most aspects; places like Corinthin supply raw materials for industry, while power is incredibly easy to make via Fusion power. Torgallon, Lanfal City, and a few other places also have significant factories for more advanced products.  

Foreign

In the scheme of Ochtotne Prime's politics, the Kingdom of Anakrion is a very contentious nation. Of the five or so major nations, none are on friendly terms with it, and the majority of city- and habitat-states are even less so. Constant warmongering and subjugation and annexation of independent city-states have left quite a reputation for it, and the third repeated invasion of New Suterr is not helping. This being the case, there is something on a barely unofficial alliance forming. In a few years, perhaps a decade, it will likely form into a fully fleshed one, united against Anakrion.   Despite all of this, trade between the nations does occur. The Kingdom of Anakrion holds no trade with its rival, the Vertul Republic, but does with other nations. The city-states of Suterr's Flatland, New Suterr notwithstanding, trade some of their advanced materials to Anakrion, and Seaside is practically a trade city, managing the flow of trade from Colchis to Anakrion.
