Tok Karran

Tok Karran is the name of the Cyngdom found south of the sunset sea and west of the Varshan Empire, ruling much of the eastern half of the island it resides on. Controlled by a set of rich and powerful families this advanced nation has only recently been noticee by its neighbouring nations.
== History ==
Long ago in an age of feudal war lords and disorganised goverments a series of lineages were able to consoldiate and control monopolies, armys, religions and even whole countrys unapposed, allowing them complete authority over the area know at the time as Karran. Eventually the entire area was owned by one family or another but instead of fighting among themselves the families, constantly kept sharp, wise and on guard by the unrest of the commoners, united to protect thier interests forming a council of their Patriars (Described in Government) to elect a leader among themselves to lead them as Hiy Cyng. 
== Government ==
The goverment of Tok Karran is an elective monarchy with a court chosen through exam and acheivment, as opposed to inheritance or democratic appointment.
The Government is on the surface organised in a strict heirarchy.
# The Hiy Cyng: Leader Of The Entire Country 
# The Witars: Run The Government On The Day To Day And Advise The Hiy Cyng 
# The Viycownts: Run Towns, Religuos Areas And Perform Governmental Jobs On Behalf Of The Witars
=== The Hiy Cyng ===
The Hiy Cyng is the elected monarch of Tok Karran, chosen by a vote among the noble families upon the last Hiy Cyngs death chosen among any citizen of Tok Karran (though often a member of teh court and/or an Athel). The Hiy Cyng is the highest authority in Tok Karran, they can veto any motion performed by the council except one to retire them.
=== The Court of Witars ===
The Witars are the most powerful government officials (officially) aside from the Hiy Cyng. They are chosen by the Hiy Cyng but among a group who have beaten a test created by the Hiy Cyng and other government officials to test thier skill in the form of a series of written qeustions. These tests can be taken by any citizen who can get to the test location and pay the tax.
