A'Hishian United Kingdoms

The A'Hisian United Kingdoms, oftentimes simply called A'hish, is a collective city-state form kingdom. Coming directly from the Daw'lni Collective, the A'Hish grew to power in isolation along the border of the Sloz'ian Empire. The country is closely related to the power of their religion, Spirits of the Mountains, and the power of Magic.   The A'hish people, as seen by the outside world, are often considered very unique, for a variety of reasons. Not only is their main structure of government highly based off of religion. Many of their traditions come from religious ideas. There are a variety of titles that come from their religious ideas including the A'ra -- the ones considered to be gods -- and the Maha'll -- religious priests, each controlling a single settlement.

Structure

  Becuase of the layered elements of the organization structure is heavily influenced by the power of religion, each of the titles of power, as well as the full layered system, are based on both religion and tradition.

Religion

 
  Religion acts as a large part of life in A'hish. Traditions, like the Trial of the Mountains; titles/ranks, such as A'ra and Maha'll; and more are all affected by the power of religion. They worship a pantheon of gods, the exact pantheon is mostly the same -- as the Five Ara'll. However, different cities will know of different A'ra, who are considered to be gods.
A woman -- long, black hair flowing down her back -- came from the sea. She, raising her arms, brought the Winter Stead Mountains into existence in seconds. The final cities of the Daw'lni Collective were felled; the A'hish people had a home at last. Coming to the center of the mountains, where a single valley remained, the woman lay down as a final mountain was erected around her in memorial to her own power.

Politics and Land

 

Foregin Reliations

 
A'hish is one of the most isolated countries. They willingly refrain from acting on global trade and refrain from war wherever possible. This is an idea that was sustained since its founding in 7434.   Despite their best attempts at staying isolated and preventing antagonizing others, the Sloz'ian Empire recently, being within the last several decades, launched a campaign on A'hish in hopes of spreading their borders. At the time, leading to large delays between the battles, the Sloz'ian Empire was still towards the middle of a war against the Maraian Triumvirate, which was placed on hiatus due to the Republic of Tseawo.
They are not bad people; A'hish culture simply finds the A'hish people isolated from the rest of the world. Don't discriminate just because they are different.

Territory

  The borders of the A'Hishian United Kingdoms are some of the least solidified among the countries. Because of their location in the Winter Stead Mountains, many of the cities around found around peaks or important mountainous locations. The mountains themselves act as borderers against other countries.   Half of their borders follow the lines of the coast, which the Winter Stead Mountains drop straight against, the rest of their borders following the rough lines of the Winter Stead Mountains until their hit the Maraian Triumvirate's borders.

Currency
The A'Hishian United Kingdoms, while not lacking funding, has no need for forms of currency. Their isolated nature, even within their own country, has lead to a lack of currency.
Legislative Body
All forms of legistation are localized, though there is an official ruler at the center of A'hish. Their laws and rules have been set in stone since its founding.
Judicial Body
The judicial system is formed from a collection of local ideas; the jury of the city is made up from political powers from their religious body, Spirits of the Mountains.
