Rokalotse
Rokalotse is a wealthy nation in the Emerald Coast of Balukthur. Many years ago, it was a small yet powerful city-state, but it has since gained territory in the surrounding land. It is ruled by a king who is advised by a council of lords, known as the Kozhlaho k' Tlakokra. The monarchy itself is generally limited, with such limitations coming in the form of the said council of lords as well as a council of guilds, known as the Kozhlaho k' Yonht'uluzhekra. These two councils are generally highly opposed in most of what they do. The most unique thing about this nation is that the ruling class is almost exclusively Aarakokra, including the entire Kozhlaho k' Tlakokra and the king himself.
Territories
Rokalotse occupies a somewhat central segment of the Emerald Coast in Balukthur.
Military
The Rokali military mostly consists of its navy due to the fact that the vast majority of the nation is on the coast. The Royal Navy of Rokalotse is renowned for its versatility, as it has mastered the tactical art of combining small, fast ships and larger, highly armed ships. They are also the first nation to incorporate spell runes into the defenses and weaponry of their ships, greatly increasing their overall effectiveness.
Another notable part of the Rokali military is the royal guard of Rokalotse, known as the Kaa Razhkol Sehaltsuni. They are a group of highly elite, highly trained soldiers made up of exclusively Aarakokra. One of their greatest advantages is simply their ability to fly while using a spear with incredible skill, a fighting style that the vast majority of soldiers have great difficulty countering.
Religion
The primary religion within Rokalotse is highly abnormal when compared to its modern counterparts. It focuses heavily on the worship and reverence of nature and the elements. There are very few gods within this religion, with gods being manifestations of the most primal natural elements and processes. It also contains far more demigods than most other traditional religions, with these demigods and saint-like individuals being humanoids of legend with power and mastery over nature and the elements.
Foreign Relations
Rokalotse is generally neutral in its relationships with foreign nations. Most of its relationships come through trade, as they are the main trade port between Beogar and Balukthur. As such, it considers some of its closest trade partners such as Maenor, Icocyma, and Estenwalde to be its primary allies. They also have a somewhat soft alliance with Bakaal, although it may be better described as a general positive relationship.
Agriculture & Industry
Rokalotse is neither a truly agricultural or industrial power. Instead, it is a highly potent trade power. However, this does not mean that the nation does not participate in these alternate sectors. In more recent decades, its agricultural sector has grown exponentially due to the rural expansion of the country over time. Unlike agriculture, Rokalotse does not participate very much in true industry.
Trade & Transport
Rokalotse is one of the greatest trade powers in the modern world. They gained this position through the securing of trade deals that have made the country the main port for trade between Balukthur and the rest of the world. This essentially means that they control a large amount of trade within an entire continent. This position is made even more powerful by the many highly desirable resources that Balukthur boasts. The most prominent of these include high-quality emeralds, diamonds, Maenorian clay, and several unique varieties of lumber and produce.
