-Ortalyk is made up of 9 provinces, each of which is administered by a [[Boyar]], including the capitol province of [[Astanals Province|Astanals]].  The [[Boyar]]s in turn nominate [[Ortalyk Governor|Governors]] to manage each settlement in their domain.  While keeping life running smoothly in their assigned province is their chief concern, each Boyar is ultimately responsible to provide troops to the Tsar including infantry, crossbowmen and cavalry organized as divisions of the Tsar's Army.
+Corporate politics within the corporation of the [[Kuulik Trade Company]] are not without some intrigue, but the surprises are few and often spaced apart by years.  Corporate malfeasance, assassinations, or other shenanigans that one might expect in an arena with extreme political power and influence are surprisingly rare.  While the average [[Kuulik]] might dream of a higher position in the corporate structure, few feel under-compensated for their efforts.

+Few souls in [[Otan]] are unaware of the [[Kuulik Trade Company]].  Their corporate presence can be found in nearly every settlement on the continent, either in the form of sales depots or shipping and supply outlets. While a few pockets of [[Otan]] have resisted [[Kuulik]] trade, the remainder enjoy the boon such trade brings to local and national economies.
-With [[human]] and non-human states on all sides, [[Ortalyk]] often operates in broad strokes when it comes to managing their relationships with neighbor states.  [[Ortalyk]] has been in nearly a constant state of war with the [[Ungir]]si, [[Grendel]] and [[Kuulik]]i nations to the north.  It has been in repeated conflicts with both their human and dragonborn neighbors to the south, the former for reasons that stem from religion and the latter for providing political, financial and material support to their kobold ancestors.
+Because the [[Kuulik]] have never deployed their military outside of their corporate borders, there are few martial grudges held against the [[Kuulik Trade Company]].  There are matters where the company might have sold arms to one nation, which were used against the next, but these grudges rarely manifest in such a way as to restrict beneficial trade.  As such, [[Kuulik]] trade blossoms nearly everywhere.
