## Description

**Utekalian-Turekian United Monarchy**

A very beautiful country, Semi-Agrarian and Semi-Industrial. The Nation was formed after the Kingdoms of Utekalia and Moravia united under one banner in 1648. Utekalia-Turekia is a Constitutional Monarchy with 2 Legislatures; The Council of Representatives and Council of Nobles. The current Monarch is Simon I of the Bosonian Dynasty. He resides in the capital city of Utekalia, Noviý Užhorod.

**HISTORY**

Utekalia and Turekia were both founded in the year 1580 by Czech, Croatian, Ukrainian, Slovakian, and Hungarian Protestants after they were expelled from their home countries. During their early years, they experienced a series of Revolts from Indigenous Peoples, and Peasants. Thankfully, due to them making alliances with other Protestant Nations in Europe, they would crush these revolts.

The 2 nations would unite under a single banner in the year 1648, and would experience a Golden Age after the European Enlightenment reached the Continent in 1753. During this Golden Age, the Utekalian-Turekian Monarchy would invent the first Revolver (1760) and the first machine gun (1771). The nation would also modernize. However, this Golden Age would last only 30 years.

The Inhabitants of Utekalia-Turekia were getting fed up with the Monarchy's oppression and heavy taxation of the Lower and Middle Classes.

Inspired by the American Revolution, the People of Utekalia-Turekia would revolt from the authority of the Monarchy in 1783. The Rebels would use the equipment that was invented by the Monarchy during the Golden Age. After a year of quarelling with the Monarchy, the Revolt would succeed, and the Confederacy of Utekalia-Turekia would be established. The Royal Family would be exiled to the city of London in the British Empire.

Though, the Confederacy would be short-lived, as the leaders of it became corrupt. This would cause the reinstatement of the Monarchy. (1792)

After the Confederacy was abolished in 1793, Utekalia-Turekia would become a Bi-Cameral Constitutional Monarchy. The Office of Prime Minister, The Council of Representatives and The Council of Nobles would be established.

In the years between 1793-1865, there would be a period of peace in the Utekalian-Turekian Monarchy, except for the Moravian Church of Utekalia-Turekia becoming the official State Church.

Slavery would become a controversial topic in Utekalian-Turekian politics. Because of this, the Country would begin to tear itself apart. It would be split between Abolitionists (anti-slavery, p sure that all of you guys know what this is) And Antiabolitionists (also this, pro-slavery).

The Government would be successful in appeasing both factions, and a Civil War would be avoided. Utekalia-Turekia would abolish slavery in 1879.

A second period of peace would occur from 1880 to 1916. During this period, the country would prosper. Utekalia-Turekia would join the Triple Alliance in 1913.

It wasn't until 1916 when Utekalia-Turekia was dragged into the First World war. The Government would send expeditionary forces to the western front in order to help it's allies against the Entente.

However, Utekalia-Turekia and the Central Powers would end up losing the war. In 1918, the nation was forced to pay reparations to the French Government. With this, the whole country would begin to lose stability, and plunged into debt.

In January of 1919, the current Monarch of Utekalia and Turekia, Anthony IV, would be assassinated in his sleep. His 10 year old heir, Simon, would succeed him.

A day after Simon became the new Monarch, Separatists, Reactionaries, and Socialists would rebel from the authority of the Monarchy. The Country would be in shambles. Due to the Civil War, many Utekalians and Turekians would emigrate to neighboring countries. Among these people, is Father Lengacher.

As of now (1920), the United Monarchy of Utekalia and Turekia is still fighting with the many rebels within its borders.

**MILITARY**

Ever since the civil war broke out, the Utekalian Military has become extremely weak. They lack food, ammunition, and weaponry. Due to their weakness, they have to live off of what is left of villages that were razed by the Rebels. Also, many have deserted the Landguard due to this and the lack of supplies.

The Utekalian Landguard is estimated to have around 54,827 (including reservists) men actively serving. The Landguard usually engages in combat with Rebel armies, and sometimes, peacekeeping forces from other nations. Since they are always engaging in combat, Military Parades are rare.

Utekalia does not have a proper navy. It was disbanded due to budget cuts & many mutinies against Commanding Officers. Due to this, the Government formed a Militia which was supposed to temporarily replace the Utekalian Navy until the civil war was over.
