[[Jalinjeri]], the "Land of Flame" was founded by the outspoken governor of [[Jalinbeti]], [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]].  Recognizing that the citizens of the former [[Kiywar Territory]] were upset with the [[Ortalyk]] rule; taxing without providing proper protection or services; they had spoken of revolt for years.  After the founding and success of the then town and now city of [[Jalinbeti]], the province began to recognize that it was ''worthy'' of it's desires and the discontent grew.  When the town of [[Jalinkoli]] seemed to rise from nowhere, their resolve was sealed.

On the 1st of [[Silde]], [[261 IM]], a few days after the commencement of war between the [[Garis Triumvirate]] on the [[Sigis]] empire, the people of the [[Kiywar Territory]] pledged their lot under the leadership of [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]].  Jalinbeti had meanwhile created a deal with the government of [[Kiskentay]] to take conservatorship of their northern mountainous territories.  This adds to the total size of the nation of [[Jalinjeri]].

Embassies to Grendel by [[Rayjok Halperion]] proved tremendously successful, while Hedgewind's embassies to [[Karazalik]] not only resulted in heavy immigration from the [[Karazaliktar]] (human) residents, but the ceding of more territory from that nation.  As the current census stands, the racial mix in [[Jalinjeri]] after many embassies stands at roughly 50% [[Human]], 20% [[Ælf]], 10% [[Grendel]], 10% [[Ungir]], 5% [[Dweorg]] and 5% other.

The [[Rezenke Province]] borders two countries and the ocean, but has neither a port nor trade routes the the neighbouring [[Batis]] or its southern neighbor [[Aydahar]].  With strained relations between humans and the dragonborn, it is understandable that the latter routes do not exist, however the Batis traders seem to pass Rezenke by on matters of trade, preferring to trade directly in the capitol.

The [[Sayagasi Province]] is perhaps the safest in the country having no foreign borders.  Raiding ships would also have to pass other [[Ortalyk]] provinces to approach the Sayagasi coast, which would be a rare and difficult prospect.  Almost all coastal travel on the Sayagasi coast is devoted to trade.

[[Jalinkalasi Prefecture]] is a prefecture of 239,893 souls in the country of [[Jalinjeri]].  The prefecture was once part of the nation of [[Karazalik]] but the lands, mostly unoccupied were ceded to the newly formed nation of [[Jalinjeri]] to secure a mutual defense pact between the two nations.

'''The former [[Kiywar Territory]] is no longer part of [[Ortalyk]] having seceded to form the new republic of [[Jalinjeri]].'''
+
[[Jalinkoli Prefecture]] is a prefecture of 80,192 souls in the western portion of the country of [[Jalinjeri]].  The prefecture was formerly part of the [[Kiywar Territory]] of [[Ortalyk]].  The lands were mostly unoccupied though considerable trade passed through the region on the [[Ælfen Way]].  As such, many [[Ælf]]es live in the area.
  
−
The [[Kiywar Territory]] was the largest and least populated region of the country and has no official settlements.  An unofficial settlement had recently been established prior to its secession.  It now serves as the capitol of the newly formed republic of [[Jalinjeri]]:
+
[[Jalinkoli Prefecture]] is populated mostly by the [[Ortalykshilar]] (human) people, though it has an ever-growing [[Ælf]] and [[Ungir]] population.  It is administered from the provincial capital [[Jalinkoli]] by the [[Water Minister of Jalinkoli Prefecture]], [[Lashyn Tursynbay]]. Lashyn was appointed to the position of [[Water Minister of Jalinkoli Prefecture]] by the [[Prime Minister of Jalinjeri]].

[[Ortalyk]]'s current leader, Tsar [[Batil Zhurek]] was granted his title by his family, the legendary [[Zhurek dynasty]]. While it is traditional for the role of Tsar to pass from father to son, it is the Zhurek family who are the final arbiters.  They have on rare occasions passed over sons for succession in favour of daughters and deposed reigning Tsars in favour of other family members.  The '''tradition''' is family rule over all other tradition.
+
[[Jalinjeri]]'s founder and current leader Prime Minister [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]] rode the crest of dissatisfaction in the former [[Kiywar Territory]] to bring about the formation of this new nation.  Ordinarily, the Tsar of [[Ortalyk]], [[Batil Zhurek]] might have ordered a prompt suppression of this sedition. Starting a civil war, however is not in [[Ortalyk]]'s best interest at the moment, due to the recent aggression coming from the [[Garis Triumvirate]].   
  
−
It is well known that the [[Zhurek dynasty]] has existed since 1 [[In Memoriam|IM]], but what is not known is how far back it actually existed.  Some speculate a legacy as long as 1,000 years.  [[Ortalyk]]'s best spellcasters and clerics have been unable to divine information from before the Great Erasure in which the memories of all creatures and men of [[Otan]] were lost.
+
As a newly formed nation, [[Jalinjeri]] faces many of the problems peculiar to a new state.  New laws, traditions, and ways of going about everyday business all require some thought and where possible enforcement.  The emphasis laid out by the Prime Minister and the four Elemental Ministers is uniform in that it calls for immigration.  Every official in [[Jalinjeri]] is resolved to make deals, tax concessions, granting of the use or ownership of land in exchange for immigration.
  
 
===International Politics===
 
===International Politics===
−
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.
+
 
  
 
===National Politics===
 
===National Politics===
−
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.
+
 
  
 
===Provincial Politics===
 
===Provincial Politics===

The [[Ortalyk Governor|Governors]] are tasked with maintaining the cities, providing security for the inhabitants and assisting in recruiting for their reigning [[Boyar]].  During times of peace, it is not unusual for a city governorship to be a lifetime appointment unless corruption, egregious mismanagement, or other malfeasance is found in their administration.  Minor frailties in a governor's rule will generally be met with 'special assistance' from the [[Boyar]], or even the Tsar, before they are ever replaced.

Military organization can vary from one division to another depending on a number of factors from recruitment and logistics, to terrain and the nature of the enemy.  Flying enemies may require special tactics, while tunneling enemies require another.  The bulk of most regiments are made up of infantry, followed in numbers by crossbowmen, cavalry, engineers, quartermasters, signallers and special forces.  The latter often made up of spellcasters and other adventurer classes.

The [[Tsar's Guard]] is in contrast, low on infantry, while rich in crossbow and cavalry.  This special division is also host to some very powerful spellcasters and other adventure classes with the [[Batil Zhurek|Tsar Batil Zhurek]] having often taking to the battlefield himself.

Jalinjeri, the "Land of Flame" was founded by the outspoken governor of Jalinbeti, Hedgewind Jalinbeti. Recognizing that the citizens of the former Kiywar Territory were upset with the Ortalyk rule; taxing without providing proper protection or services; they had spoken of revolt for years. After the founding and success of the then town and now city of Jalinbeti, the province began to recognize that it was worthy of it's desires and the discontent grew. When the town of Jalinkoli seemed to rise from nowhere, their resolve to secede was cemented.

On the 1st of Silde, 261 IM, a few days after the commencement of war between the Garis Triumvirate on the Sigis empire, the people of the Kiywar Territory pledged their lot under the leadership of Hedgewind Jalinbeti. Jalinbeti had meanwhile created a deal with the government of Karazalik to take conservatorship of their northern mountainous territories. This adds to the total size of the nation of Jalinjeri.

Population[edit]

A Political Map of Jalinjeri

About half of the Jalinjeri population is made up of the Ortalykshilar people, who have presumably lived in the region since before the Great Erasure in 1 IM. The Prime Minister, Hedgewind Jalinbeti and all four of his Elemental Ministers have been conducting embassies to promote immigration to the region.

Embassies to Grendel by Rayjok Halperion proved tremendously successful, while Hedgewind's embassies to Karazalik not only resulted in heavy immigration from the Karazaliktar (human) residents, but the ceding of more territory from that nation. As the current census stands, the racial mix in Jalinjeri after many embassies stands at roughly 50% Human, 20% Ælf, 10% Grendel, 10% Ungir, 5% Dweorg and 5% other.

Notable Jalinjeri Landmarks[edit]

Political Environment[edit]

Jalinjeri's founder and current leader Prime Minister Hedgewind Jalinbeti rode the crest of dissatisfaction in the former Kiywar Territory to bring about the formation of this new nation. Ordinarily, the Tsar of Ortalyk, Batil Zhurek might have ordered a prompt suppression of this sedition. Starting a civil war, however is not in Ortalyk's best interest at the moment, due to the recent aggression coming from the Garis Triumvirate.

As a newly formed nation, Jalinjeri faces many of the problems peculiar to a new state. New laws, traditions, and ways of going about everyday business all require some thought and where possible enforcement. The emphasis laid out by the Prime Minister and the four Elemental Ministers is uniform in that it calls for immigration. Every official in Jalinjeri is resolved to make deals, tax concessions, granting of the use or ownership of land in exchange for immigration.

International Politics[edit]

National Politics[edit]

Provincial Politics[edit]

Civic Politics[edit]

Military[edit]

Military organization in the new country will likely prove to be unique considering the nation's leader and ethnic mix.
