Keltom

Keltom was a small sovereign nation located on a peninsula in the southern region of Rozakko'ra. It was bordered to the east by an overseas territory owned by the Dominion of Sentara and to the north by the People's Federal Democracy of Harpia.
The ruler of the nation was Áthos Tekál Mithar, who held all the power while also granting citizens the right to vote and decide.
== Geography ==
Keltom was situated on a small peninsula covered by a lush bamboo jungle. Water surrounded the nation on the east and west.
== History ==
=== Prehistory ===
The Tárhik people, originally from a distant chain of islands, embarked on a perilous journey across the ocean in search of new territories. Driven by the collapse of their homeland and the quest for more hospitable environments, they sailed northward. After weeks of navigating treacherous waters and enduring harsh conditions, they reached the southern coast of Abexilas. Most of the Tárhik settled in a dense bamboo jungle on a small peninsula.
===Founding===
==== Creation of Keltom (the city) ====
The first Tárhik settlers established a small town in the center of the bamboo jungle, initially unaware of the hazards and significance of their chosen location. This settlement, known as Keltom, began as a modest cluster of homes and common structures. As news of the settlement's potential spread, more people arrived, bringing diverse skills and knowledge that contributed to Keltom's growth. Keltom eventually attracted the attention of surrounding nations, particularly the Enlightened Grevdom of Hyria. This ally recognized the settlement's potential and provided support in the form of resources and protection. With their assistance, Keltom developed into a well-established city. 
==== Creation of Keltom ====
As Keltom prospered, it evolved from a city into a nation. Its strategic location on the peninsula, with water on two sides, facilitated trade and provided natural fortifications. However, its rising prominence drew the attention of Astria, a dissident nation that saw Keltom as a potential threat, and Fisk, whose territory Keltom had inadvertently encroached upon. Fisk waged war to reclaim its territory.
In response to these external threats, Keltom's leaders initiated diplomatic and military efforts to seek potential allies. They aimed to safeguard their new homeland and ensure its survival, prompting large-scale production of equipment in preparation for potential conflicts.
===Fisk-Keltish War===
The Fisk-Keltish War was relatively short and nonviolent, primarily involving preparation and political negotiation. The conflict began when Fisk members attempted to raid Keltish land, resulting in a minor skirmish. The fighting ceased when peacekeepers from the 4th Aesilandri Kingdom intervened, leading to a truce. This allowed Keltom to consolidate its position and focus on internal development and strengthening alliances.
=== Joining of Vasa ===
Following the peace talks, Keltom joined a newly formed military alliance known as V.A.S.A. (Volunteer Alliance Security Army). This alliance aimed to protect the nation and the region from terrorist groups such as Astria and Fisk, which had instigated a rebellion after the incident in Keltom.
=== Ironaa's Resignation ===
The Keltom economy suffered due to the overwhelming demand for military supplies and a shortage of producers, leading to an exodus of people. Ironaa, a key producer of military supplies, eventually resigned due to a loss of faith in the nation, leaving Áthos as the sole leader.
=== Creation of the Union of Amaliya ===
After a period of significant stagnation, Keltom was presented with the opportunity to join a new nation, which was later named the Union of Amaliya. Following a brief discussion, Áthos Tekál Mithar decided that uniting under one banner would be beneficial. Keltom, Hyria, and Lunis quickly began laying the groundwork for the new nation. However, Lunis withdrew due to dissatisfaction with the 4th Aesilandri Kingdom, as Hyria's status as a member-state meant that the Union of Amaliya would also become a member-state. Despite this setback, the union between Keltom and Hyria continued, driven by their shared history, mutual respect, and longstanding friendship. This peaceful merger marked the end of Keltom's sovereign existence as the nation transitioned to a new name and identity.
==Government ==
In Keltom, the government was led by two official leaders known as Prmásrors (meaning "leader/king" in Tárhi). These leaders held exclusive privileges, including the authority to initiate a vote and greater voting power compared to the rest of the population. However, the general populace still had a say and could influence the direction of the nation.
==Demographics==
===Tárhik===
Main article: Tárhik
A significant portion of the population was of Tárhik descent, with deep roots tracing back to their initial arrival. They held prominent positions in the government and were the primary speakers of the Tárhi language. The Tárhik heritage also introduced the majority religion, Eshosism, into the nation.
