The Greater Teutonic Realm

**The Greater Teutonic Realm (GTR)** is a nation on the realm founded in 2020 by 77brickman05. The country is divided into six Prefectures; New Rawabi, New South Rhodesia, San Andreas, South Rhodesia, Alabama, and North Rhodesia. It holds one autonomous region, New Palestine, and two Special Administrative Regions, Kazakhstan and Albania, and ~20 overseas territories. The GTR maintains embassies in many other nations. The capital has been New Rawabi since the founding.

## History

### Prehistory

The earliest evidence of settlements of the original islands dates back over 300,000 years. Pottery found in San Andreas has been dated to 250,000 BE.

### Medieval

The Kingdom of Teuta was founded in what is now the GTR in ~800 BE and was ruled by the Tueton Royal Dynasty. The entire kingdom was later annexed by the Spawn Empire in around 500 BE. The head of the Royal Dynasty at the time, bencool004, later became Emperor of Spawn. Along with his son, he was the only Emperor not from the Spawn Imperial Family. Surviving imperial records suggest that the Kingdom was a major exporter of grain to the rest of the Empire, accounting by some estimates to be over half of the Empire's grain supply.

### Modern

The Imperial Territory of Tueta was officially organized by the Empire in 1756 AD with the current heir to the throne made the Governor. The territory consisted of the two islands of Altis and Stratis, which had been the center of the Teuton Kingdom and contained the city of Neuer Rawabi (later anglicized as New Rawabi). The territory was briefly captured by the Principality of New Free Derry in 1896 during the Four Years War. The city was recaptured by the Empire in 1897. In 1999, 76brickman04 (Father of 77brickman05) was made heir apparent to the throne and thus made Governor of Tueta. He often travelled to Neuer Rawabi and even had a residence there.

### Founding of the Teutonic Realm

On January 17, 2020, a group of militiamen stormed the Imperial Palace in Spawn City and murdered Emperor 70brickman05 and declared the Empire to be dissolved. A young Imperial Army officer, 77brickman05, took this opportunity and used his garrison to seize the Port of Neuer Rawabi. He televised a speech declaring the islands of Altis and Stratis to be under the jurisdiction of the new Government of the Teutonic Realms with himself as President. He also officially renamed Neuer Rawabi to New Rawabi.

### Greater Teutonic Realm

For the first few weeks, anarchy swept across the islands with mass looting and rapes. The President's first act was to dispatch his 3,000-strong garrison to stabilize the new country. They did so with relative ease and the country was at peace after several days. The nation steadily grew over the next several months from a mostly agrarian nation into an industrial powerhouse. The first major war the GTR was involved in was the Great Poop War, which saw the newly created 14th Aerial Signal Battalion clash with Japanese and Mexican aircraft over San Andreas. In mid-2020, the Government officially established the Prefecture system. Originally dividing the nation into 3 Prefectures, this number is now 6. The Prefecture system allowed for greater local autonomy and the nation greatly benefited.

On February 27th, 2020, the First Great Realm War broke out with the GTR joining the Central Powers along with the First Albanian Republic and the Cum Territories against Japan and Dexistan. The Central Powers were defeated and the GTR was forced to sign the Treaty of New Rawabi. The Albanian Crisis of 2020 saw the GTR take the side of the First Albanian Republic and even saw the deployment of 500 Teutonic troops to Albania to act as peacekeepers. On December 14th, 2020, the Second Great Realm War broke out with the GTR joining sides with Dexistan, Japan, India, and the CSA against Tibet, Arstotzka, and the Second Albanian Republic. The CAA was victorious in the conflict and it resulted in the GTR annexing the territory of Albania. In early 2021, the Prefecture system was reworked with the Prefectures of Cerrito and Ooarai combining to form the Prefecture of South Rhodesia with the previous organized territory of North Rhodesia incorporated as a Prefecture. In March 2021, the Yugoslav-Israeli War broke out between New Israel, South Sudan, Arstotzka, Japan, and the CSA and Yugoslavia and Tibet. The GTR was officially neutral, but supplied both sides with weapons and munitions.

## Government

The Government is divided into three branches: Executive, Judicial, and Legislative.

### Executive

The Executive branch is the most powerful branch of Government and is headed by the President. Though *de jure* kept in check by the Legislative, it exercises *de facto* supreme authority over all functions of Government. The GTR's election system for President is unique, wherein there is not a direct Presidential election rather a Senatorial election where the party which wins the most seats appoints their own President, usually the head of the party.

### Judicial

The Judicial branch is the branch which regulates and administers criminal proceedings and the overall justice system. The head of the branch is the Chief Justice of the GTR who is also head of the Superior Court of the GTR which has authority and the final say over all rulings of Inferior Courts in the GTR.

### Legislative

The Legislative branch consists of the Senate of the GTR. The GTR has a unicameral legislative system with the Senate being the only representative council of any kind. Every Prefecture elects two senators regardless of population or land area. The President is decided through the Senate by whichever party wins the most seats appoints the President, usually the head of the party.

## Military

The Armed Forces of the GTR are the combined armed forces of the GTR. The Army, Navy, and Air Force of the GTR compose the National Forces, while the Labor Service and the Civil Guard compose the Auxiliary Forces. The Department of War is responsible for the Armed Forces with the Secretary of War being one of the most powerful people in the country. The President serves as Field Marshal of the Army, Grand Admiral of the Navy, and Air Marshal of the Air Force.
