The Tsardom of **Rhezitsa** is a sovereign nation state located in Uruldu. The Tsardom was a constitutional monarchy before it's Tsar Jolomir Serebivich backed by multiple people inside and outside Rhezitsa, announced the coup d'eta against the Republic. Now Rhezitsa is an absolute monarchy with the Tsar at it's head.

## Geography

Most of Rhezitsa is freezing tundra and frozen taiga, however in the southern part is quite warm.

## Military

The Rhezitsani Imperial military is one of the most powerful naval powers, with multiple large warships that protect the Rhezitsani seas and cities. The military's Commander-in-chief is the Tsare i Rhezitsa, but the Ataman acts as de-facto head of the military.

## Culture

The Tsardom partially tolerates all cultures, although most Rhezitsani hate other cultures. The Rhezitsani peoples speak Urak, a quite hard language for most outsiders to understand. The most common religion is the Rhezitsani Imperial Cult, where the Tsar is worshipped as a divine god.

## Government

Tsar: The Tsar is a powerful aristocrat that before the revolution ruled Rhezitsa with absolute power, but for the time after that power was split between the Tsar and the people. Nowadays the Tsar has regained their former absolute power. The Tsar works as Head of State and is head of internal affairs and Commander-in-chief of the Rhezitsani imperial military.

Vorozhen: The Vorozhen is an elected title simular to Prime minister, the Vorozhen works as Head of Government and diplomacy, but has no power equal to the Tsar. The Vorozhen is elected by the people in a simple majority vote and their term lasts for a month with no limit for how many times they can run for office.

Ataman: The Ataman is an appointed position, given at the behest of the Tsar. The Ataman is Field Commander of the Rhezitsan military and holds command authority in military affairs superseded only by the Tsar. Historically it is also not unprecedented in times of peace for the Ataman to act as the nation's head of diplomacy when no active military campaigns are in order.

Hetman: A Hetman is a general under the Ataman and typically acts as 3rd in command of the Rhezitsan military. Former Ataman's who are currently incapable of performing their duties may take the role of Hetman while a successor is selected by the Tsar. The most senior Hetman is also typically the 1st in line to succeed the appointed Ataman upon his removal or resignation.

The Cabinet: The Cabinet is made up by all the ministers and the Vorozhen, they work together to pass laws, a minister is appointed by the Tsar or Vorozhen, and they act for life.

The Duma: The Duma is how the people of Rhezitsan are represented, they create laws and act as representatives of their home district. The is no term limit for a member in the Duma, a member in the Duma is elected by the people in their home and can serve for 2 months before re-election. The duma is mostly ceremonial nowadays.

## Territorial Holdings

Rhezitsa holds de-facto superiority over much of the continent of Utia, with most of the southern and central parts of the continent. Rhezitsa currently controls five cities: the Capital Siniyzegorod, Rybinskav, Utrem, Koslan and Vosowiec fortress.

Interestingly these five cities sit at the extreme edges of Rhezitsan territory, acting as both trading posts, frontier forts and territorial markers for the frontiers of Rhezitsan's borders.

The largest and most active city is the capital of Siniyzegorod, with the main military headquarters and the largest fleet stationed there. Siniyzegorod also has the main imperial palace, Belokamen imperial palace. It sits on the only part of Rhezitsa that is plains biome, it's situated on the coast of Tsesarevich bay, and on the mouth of Velireka River.

Second largest city is currently Rybinskav, situated on the coast of lake Tsaritsyn. It is connected to Siniyzegorod via the Snezhome railway.

Third largest city is a split between Vosowiec fortress, Ustrem and Koslan. Vosowiec fortress influenced the naming of Vosowiec river, since the fortress sits on the mouth if the river. Ustrem is the most northern town and coldest, not much is documented of it nor it's brother town Koslan.
