Basic Background & History
Lorkhan, officially The Nationalist Republic of Lorkhan, was founded after the Nationalist Revolutionary Civil War on May 23rd 1993, replacing the former republic and it’s totalitarian leadership. The nation itself has existed since the early 1400s when the first Nordic people came to the continent of Corellus to escape religious persecution from the growing Roman Catholic church. It’s founder was King Cjok the Frostmare, a man revered as a man-god by the people of Lorkhan to this day and the foundation of the nation‘s fierce independence and resolve.
The current ruling party is the NSSC, backed by the extremely charismatic Tiber Valias. Since their victory in the revolutionary war the NSSC has ruled as the dominant faction in Lorkhan’s politics. A week after the NSSC moved into power, they cut off ties with many foreign powers and went into isolation doing business only with regional states. Though many believed Lorkhan was committing economical and political suicide, the nation has re-built itself as a major industrial power in the last decade. Many within the nation claim that this is the strongest the nation has been as a community in over two centuries.
The nation itself is divided into three categories. It is a charter member of the Covenant of Corellus, making it sub-state of the broader region of Corellus. Both it's Core State (main land) and it's Imperial State (provinces abroad + main land) form is recognized as official.
The nation is based heavily off of Nordic culture and values. The majority of the countries population practice faiths closely related to ancient Norse mythology, and are very proud and protective of their pagan religions and clan structures.
