Kassathia
Kassathia is the country for those who aren't accepted anywhere else, those looking for a land where they can truly live their lives without any Holy Divinar, Upper Hierophant, King or Queen interfering with their life. The country is incredibly rich in resources from steel to diamonds, this is the biggest money maker for Kassathia. The country has good relations with most of the Geminist world, but has ideological quarrels with Rasina, and especially Fedria. Its capital is the city of Brianska where the government sits.
"By grace of the Gemi and providence of our leaders, the state of Kassathia is hereby proclaimed. No man shall be led enslaved in our lands, as shall no crown shackle us."
While being a relatively young nation in comparison to Artesja of Divinarate, Kassathia boasts the fastest-growing economy, keeping a steady pace with the country's northern expansion. The primary drivers of the economy are technological innovation in the southern cities, but mineral extraction in the north is also lucrative, albeit sometimes shady.
Kassathia is the only Tempertarian nation without a monarchy.
Tajken
Tajken is a unique Kassathian expression meaning "To overcome" or, at times, "Has been overcome". It is usually used to express the steadfastness archetypal of the frontierman, the fondness for the struggle intrinsic to Kassathian living.
It has been cited by countless politicians; it represents the very essence of Kassathia as a nation, gritting its teeth through the Fedrian invasions and the Bezjan plague. Tajken is such a cherished notion that it is considered a massive faux pas for foreigners to use it, especially if meant in earnest.
