Galtar

The Kingdom of the Galtari is a large Valittun state in northern Isaevi. Galtar is the southern bastion of Valittun culture, and has clashed with the southern Utervervolk civilization for millenia. Despite the strength and power of the first Isaevi Imperium, the northmen of Galtar held them back, establishing the reputation of the Valittun as ferocious warriors. Once a part of the great Valittun Realm, the region was crucial in fending off the encroaching Casorian Empire, which failed to take the lands of the Valittu by force, instead joining of their own will, with almost untouched autonomy.
In the post-Casorian world, the Kingdom established itself as an independent state, yet still one with close ties to the other states of the Northmen. The Kingdom is an oddity on Oryndiil; a purely elective monarchy, where every citizen, rich or poor, is allowed to vote for their kung when the old one passes away. The Kung is bound to proper conduct by a strict set of rules, known as the Galtari Settlement, and is accountable to both his people and his parliament, the Velstandag. This close relationship between Kung and people is reflected in his unique styling; he is not Kung of Galtar, but rather Kung of the Galtari.
Like the rest of the north, Galtar is an advanced, industrialised nation, capable of standing alongside both the Casorian Empire and the Kingdom of Nientay in areas of advancement. The nation is a member of the Commonwealth of the North, and political, economic and military pact between most of the Valittun nations.
