<p>Maximos: </p> <hr /> <div>{{ShirerothFactbox}}<br /> Cedrism is the semi-official unofficial religion of Shireroth. It consists of a multitude of [[gods]] and is a derivative of [[B0O0/\/\ism]]. Cedrism had developed years ago out of a free-spirited love for explosions and fruits and has since evolved a staggering pantheon of gods all the way from [[Mors]], God of Death, to [[Hypotomoose]], God of Miscalculations. The [[Cedrist Temple]], located in [[Mirioth]], is presided over by a [[Religion#Priests and Acolytes|High Priest]] (currently, [[Greg Russell]]) who has the final say in all of Shireroth's religious affairs.<br /> <br /> A Member of the Cedrist religion is known as a [[Cedrist]].<br /> <br /> *[[BO0O/\/\ism]] - The secular sect of Cedrism<br /> *[[Imperial Cult]] - worshipping of the Kaiser as living Demigod.<br /> *[[Divine Census of Cedrism|Divine Census]]<br /> *[[Dæmonic Census]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Cedrist Myth And Stories ====<br /> *[[The Begin Times]]<br /> *[[The End Times]]<br /> *[[The Tale of B'Caw]]<br /> *[[Rrakanychan]]<br /> *[[Vampires]]<br /> *[[The Three Minoses]]<br /> <br /> ==== The Good ====<br /> *[[The Transcendi]]<br /> *[[Divine Census of Cedrism|The Gods]]<br /> *[[The Celestial Temple]]<br /> *[[Valhalla]]<br /> *[[Brrapa Lu Eraro]]<br /> <br /> ==== The Bad ====<br /> *[[The Descendi]]<br /> *[[The Dæmons]]<br /> *[[Balgurd]]<br /> *[[Dæmon Fish of Balgurd]]<br /> *[[Legions of Balgurd]]<br /> <br /> ==== The Great Swords ====<br /> *[[The Sword of Vengeance]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Fire]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Death]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Life]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Light]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Madness]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Chaos]]<br /> *[[The Sword of Wisdom]]<br /> <br /> ==== The Realms ====<br /> *[[The Mortal Realm]]<br /> *[[The Dæmonic Realm]]<br /> *[[The Divine Realm]]<br /> <br /> ==== The Planes ====<br /> *[[The Plane of Chaos]]<br /> *[[The Plane of Order]]<br /> *[[The Plane of Balance]]<br /> <br /> ==== Concepts ====<br /> *[[Reincarnation]]<br /> *[[Karma]]<br /> *[[Transcendence and the Path of Transcendence]]<br /> *[[Descendence and the Path of Descendence]]<br /> *[[The Third path]]<br /> <br /> ==== Priests and Acolytes ====<br /> *High Priest of the Gods: [[Greg Russell]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Head Priest of Horjin: [[Fax Celestis]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Head Priest of Apostrophe: [[Gryphon the Pure]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Head Priest of Mors: [[Erik Mortis]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *High Priest of Sakat: [[Andreas the Wise]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *High Priest of B00/\/\ism and &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Head Priestess of Alejia: [[Alexandra Decens]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *&quot;Blessed&quot; of Melvin ([[Murphey]]): [[H4773r 3lfs0n]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *Oracle of Loki: [[Jacobus]] Loki<br /> <br /> ==== Diversionary Sects ====<br /> *The restored Article/ [[Guide to Cedrism]]<br /> *[[The Children of Mors]]<br /> *[[Followers of B'Caw]]<br /> *[[Hunters of the Stag]]<br /> *[[The Sisters of Viviantia]]<br /> *[[Cult of the Descendi]]<br /> <br /> ==== Famous Cedrist Sites of Shireroth====<br /> *[[House of Sakat]] in [[Shirekeep]].<br /> *[[Yoni Temple Complex]] in [[Modan-lach]]</div>

Although [[Erik Mortis]] voiced concern about the miniscule size of the County, its creation was endorsed by the Duke of [[Brookshire]] at the time, Mike Fors.<br /> Part of Hadjimehmetov's decision to create the new county was for a special, autonomous retreat for the Barons of K'Tzuni to maintain a summer palace, from where they could rule without the hubbub and stress of Brookshire's capital of Brookshire Hamlet in [[Modan-lach]].<br /> As one of the smaller islands in the historical Khaz-Modan Gulf, Ž has an ancient and rich history, of which its few residents are fiercly proud. Although it has the smallest population of any Shirereithan County, it has become somewhat of a popular tourist retreat for the elite of Brookshire, who maintain wealthy villas and palaces all around the island's secluded coves.<br /> This is keeping in fashion with the many ancient residences found when the island was part of a great Khaz-Modani trading post. Underneath the crystal waters, one can see the now submerged buildings of the cities, dating from around b2309 ASC- sometime before the few recorded Khaz-Modani tales of [[Tales from the Khaz Modan|Ke'Najrad]].<br /> Much of the island's history remains mysterious and highly contented by leading academics in the field. Whilst the extent of the ancient coastline is known- presumably levelled by an earthquake- the ruins which litter the island lay barren until numerous Shirithan Barons pillaged and stole the elaborate carved stones of the mausoleums from the necropolis, which can now be found inside numerous Baronial palaces across Shireroth.<br /> [[Laqi]] fishermen began to move to the island just after the gradual decline of the Khaz-Modan Empire, and the island is now almost entirely Laqi-populated- the majority of the two major cities, Akhuleti and Kanarrh, were buily by Laqi immigrants using pillaged stone from the old Khaz-Modani ruins.<br /> The strange name of the County, ''Ž'', is one of the few non-Laqi names. It is believed to be the pronunciation of one Khaz-Modani hieroglyph which is found on the mysterious obelisks which can be found across the island. Pronounced ''zh'', the name ''Ž'' has entered the Laqi language as a synonym for a a former Khaz-Modani Island such as this one.<br /> <br /> =====Map of the County of Ž=====<br /> [[Image:County_of_Z.png]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> =====Geography=====<br /> <br /> =====Culture &amp; Important Sites=====<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[category: Counties]]<br /> [[category: K'Tzuni]]</div>

<p>Maximos: /* Plan of the Temple Complex */</p> <hr /> <div>=====Plan of the Temple Complex=====<br /> <br /> [[Image:Altar.png]]<br /> <br /> =====Overview=====<br /> <br /> High on the plains of the remotest regions of [[Modan-lach]] is the Yoni Temple Complex, a mysterious but highly revered Cedrist Temple Complex and one of the most important Cedrist monuments to the Laqi People. Its exact founding is unknown- and despite not being mentioned in the [[Tales from the Khaz Modan]], archaeologists have confirmed the prior existence of a Khaz-Modani structure on the site. <br /> Included here are monuments to Maji, [[Yoktarh and Kohlarh]], [[Yuuurgh]], [[Malarbor]], as well as numerous facilities for the faithful- every Shirereithan New Year, thousands of pilgrims make their way through the wastes of Upper Lach to reach the remote Temple Complex, where the Acolytes and their staff run a hospice which offers free food and lodging to the faithful.<br /> The Sanctum of Malarbor is one of the oldest [[Cedrism|Cedrist]] monuments in [[Shireroth]], and the attached Wishing Pool is a source of great holiness for the pilgrims who venture there. Numerous pagodas litter the grounds of the complex- most of which are maintained by skilled gardeners to create an atmosphere of natural tranquility- and the pagodas each contain a spiral staircase leading to an observation deck, from which the giant bells on top of each pagoda are rung every midnight to appease the G-ds for their graciousness and blessings to the people of Shireroth.<br /> <br /> =====Main Temples=====<br /> The Altar of the Four Winds is a highly specialised structure, usually used when a [[Kaiser]], Acolyte, or High Priest dies, and their ashes are scattered to the four winds. Four immense rare beeswax candles, believed to have been made by one of the original hermits who first used this site for meditation and spiritual enlightenment, are kept under lock and key here and kept continuously. It is rumoured that should the candles be blown out, the next Kaiser will be deposed in a bloody and often incredibly undesirable manner. The Kaiserial Shrine itself is reserved for the Kaiser and their court to pay homage to the G-ds when they come on pilgrimage to the temple, and cross the threshold of the great ancient bridge across the chasm.<br /> <br /> <br /> =====The Chasm and Caves=====<br /> The Great Upper Lach Chasm, as it is known, is a huge, mysterious scar in the mountainous lands of [[Modan-lach|Upper Lach]] and is perhaps one of the deepest such natural features in Southern Shireroth. From the ancient bridge above, throw a rock and see how long it takes to hit the bottom. No surprise why bungee jumping has never been popular here. Carved into the cliff face just below round level are the caves of ascetics who seek spiritual enlightenment from Malarbor and live in the dank sides of the chasm wall, eating bats and things. They're all interconnected by rope ladders and accessible only by the small path from Yuuurgh's Pagoda.<br /> Small streams from the tranquil ponds of the Temple Complex trickle down into small waterfalls into the eerie valley floor below, partly obscured by weeds and algae, and inhabited only by bats and the the blind cave fish which live in the underground Yoni river which flows underground from either end of the chasm. The caves are treacherous, and littered with the corpses of adventurers. Rumours of a mysterious ancient temple deep in the caves below are often heard, but the Acolytes and resident Priests at Yoni Temple Complex refuse to comment. One cave explorer managed to find a strange stone door with a pair of eyes carved into it, and heard some mysterious chanting in an ancient Khaz-Modani language from within, but this has never been established by anyone else in the labyrinth of tunnels, sumps, and potholes in the underground river complex.<br /> One thing is for sure, however. The waters of this blessed Temple Complex are potent and pure, and are taken by many on pilgrimage- especially ethnic Laqi people, who view the Complex as one of their race's finest accomplishments.<br /> Yoni Temple Complex takes around three hours by bus from Brookshire Hamlet- but most instead choose to walk the snowy passes of Upper Lach, where only heather and the Laqi Mountain Lynx choose to live.<br /> <br /> [[category: fiction]]<br /> [[Category:brookshire]]<br /> [[category:K'Tzuni]]</div>

All legislation is debated in the Knesset, yet all Constitutional Amendments require a 75% majority of the Knesset's vote to be signed into law. Government departments in Ashkenatza are highly autonomous, and are funded, run, and administered almost semi-independently of the Knesset- their role being to draft legislation for the Knesset to amend, debate, and vote on.<br /> Consisting some one hundred seats, the Knesset's seats are divided according to political parties' winnings in general elections, which are held every three months. Coalition governments are often formed as per the traditionaly large number of Political Parties in Ashkenatza.<br /> The Head of State of Ashkenatza is the ''Nohsi'' (roughly translating from the Yiddish as ''leader'' or ''elector'') and has the power to veto and delay bills, as well as being honourary marshal of the Armed Forces.<br /> Political parties currently operating in Ashkenatza (at the time of writing) include:<br /> Dray Bagrif Partei (Three Principles Party)<br /> Ashkenatzer Aristotelisher Partei (Aristotelian Party)<br /> Di Algemeyner Bund (Ashkenatzi United Bund)<br /> The first Nohsi was His Excellency Laz Krakowski, of a Dray Bagrif-Algemeyner Bund coalition.<br /> <br /> ==Culture==<br /> Ashkenatza's cultural development is highlighted in the life of the Eastern European Shtetl. Provincial names such as Litovina and Volhyria are generally variations on regions of the Jewish Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire.

The Aleph is a commonly used symbol and has come to be a somewhat unofficial logo for all things Ashkenatzi.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Ashkenatza's appearance on the micronational stage in August 2008 was during a time of great confusion for the Anglophone Micronational community- the death of [[Lovely]], the [[Grand Commonwealth]], the [[MCS]]-[[GSO]] divide and the imminent closure of the Micronational News Network [[MNN]] made it very difficult to recruit new citizens, leaving Ashkenatza's citizen base a very particular one, mainly old Matbaics and Babkhans.<br /> Ashkenatza's first intermicronational step was claiming land on [[Benacia]], immediately drawing its foreign relations closer to Shireroth, and balancing the Ashkenatzi-Babkhan closeness which had been forming. Babkhan economic and military support to Ashkenatza was highly important, as was contact with Ashkenatza's neighbour Tellia, who shared similar concerns about possible Amokolian belligerence to the North. There had, however, been disagreements with Tellia regarding land expansions, and although Tellia eventually capitulated to Ashkenatzi ownership over the Southern Litovina area, Ashkenatza guaranteed the constitutional rights of ethnic Tellian citizens living there.<br /> Almost immediately, after the threat of war became very real, the Central Benacian Relations Conference, overseen by Shireroth and held in Romero, the capital of Tellia, agreed on a peaceful land expansion to share unclaimed inner Benacia, which allowed expansions for Amokolia, Ashkenatza, Tellia, and Ashkenatza's friendly western neighbour, Batavia.<br /> Still, the threat of war lingered and Tellia and Ashkenatza remained militarily very close, supported by Babkha- with whom, however, alliance negotiations were not incredibly successful. How the widening rift between monarchist and socialist micronations in the [[Micras Sector]] will affect Ashkenatzi politics remains to be seen, but the tenuous coalition of the socialist Bundist Party and social liberal Dray Bagrif Partei under the leadership of Nohsi Laz Krakowski steered an easy going course intermicronationally for the first few months of the nation's existence.<br /> <br /> ==Economy==<br /> The national currency of Ashkenatza is the Shekl, divided into one hundred rubl.

Ashkenatza also makes use of a complex armoured train system across the nation, for troop transport and advanced communication.

Modan-lach is perhaps the wealthiest and most fertile of the counties, as much trade is conducted via sea routes. The Barony borders the Barony of [[Barony of Dolor|Dolor]] to the north and east, and the Barony of [[Barony of Lakhesis|Lakhesis]] to the west. No major rivers cross through the barony, the largest flowing through Brookshire Hamlet.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> K'Tzuni is a relatively recent invention as barony, created under the reign of [[Kaiser Mors V]]. No territorial disputes exist, though it was considered that the archipelago of islands lying due south of Modan-Lach in the Shire Sea should have been made part of the new barony.<br /> This claim on what is Yardistan's land has since been revoked, and K'Tzuni remained a peaceful barony until the Kildare Rebellion, when its baron declared support for the Kaiser.<br /> During this time, K'Tzuni's forces supported Kaiser Mors V and their destruction of the Elwynn Sluice, causing the flooding and devastation of the rebel-held capital of Shirekeep, led to Hadjimehmetov declaring a state of emergency and founding the Provisional Free State of K'Tzuni, founded by him to ensure a non-rebel held stronghold for any legal successor to the throne to return to. The [[Declaration of patriotic and royalist succession]] was viewed by many with scrutiny as they saw it as an illegal act. T<br /> <br /> K'Tzuni regained activity in late February 2008 after the Laschist Revival in which a populist government was installed in K'Tzuni.<br /> <br /> The [[Ž|County of Ž]] was also created as a subdivision of K'Tzuni during this time, during which K'Tzuni became the host county of [[Brookshire|Brookshire's]] Ducal Legislative Body, the Great [[Kehl]].<br /> <br /> ==Ethnic and Linguistic Distribution==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Ktzunispeech.png]]<br /> <br /> {{barony |<br /> image_map = Map_ktzuni.PNG |<br /> duchy = [[Brookshire]] |<br /> counties = [[Modan-lach]], [[Lywind]], [[Crestfall Downs]], [[Ž]], [[Jugenskaja]] |<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[category:brookshire]]<br /> [[category:K'Tzuni]]</div>

<p>Maximos: </p> <hr /> <div>{{infobox language<br /> | name= Laqi<br /> | nativename= ''Laҳi''<br /> | pronunciation= [{{IPA|ˈlæxi|}}]<br /> | states= [[Shireroth]]<br /> | region= Southern [[Brookshire]]<br /> | speakers= 4,275,100<br /> | familycolor= pink<br /> | fam1= Khaz-Modani<br /> | script= Latin (Laqi variant)<br /> | nation= Shireroth, Barony of [[K'Tzuni]]<br /> | agency= Laqi Linguistic Board<br /> | mic1= laq<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ''Noxi Laҳi... sьkarlә baarli Južŋaŋu'' &lt;br&gt;<br /> ''Our Laqi... the sweet speech of the South'' &lt;br&gt;<br /> Traditional Saying<br /> <br /> Laqi is a [[Conlang]] spoken by the overwhelming majority of citizens of the county of [[Modan-lach]] and in smaller numbers in [[Lywind]] and [[Ž]]. It is a recognised official language of the [[Barony of K'Tzuni]]. Believed to have originated from dialects spoken by Khaz-Modanians in ancient times, Laqi is designed to have a Turkic appearance in its vocabulary, its alphabet designed greatly on those used by the Soviets in the 1920s for languages such as Tuvinian and Azeri. The first work on Laqi was started under the reign of [[Kaiser Mors V]]. A [[Laqi Phrasebook]] and basic grammar are currently being compiled.<br /> <br /> ===Geographical Distribution===<br /> [[Image:Ktzunispeech.png]]<br /> Map showing linguistic distribution of Laqi and its neighbouring languages in the Barony of K'Tzuni &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> As the map above shows, the geographical distribution of the Laqi Language is a wide one.<br /> The Lingua Franca of K'Tzuni, Laqi is a major Shirereithan [[Conlang]] and is used extensively by local government in K'Tzuni. Its influence leads to its common usage in the borderlands with other Baronies such as [[Dolor]], and also in small emigré communities of Laqis in major Shirereithan cities such as [[Shirekeep]].<br /> <br /> ===Official Status===<br /> ===Dialects===<br /> Numerous dialects of the Laqi language exist- though the accepted norm, standardised Laqi, is understood throughout the Laqi-speaking provinces and is generally the written form, an insular variation with many now outmoded and archaic aspects of vocabulary and syntax (such as colloquial use of the plural and retaining of imported words before the Laqi Language Purification by Laqi Linguistic Board) being spoken on the small island County of [[Ž]]. [[Lywind]] also has a distinct Laqi dialect- with numerous words of Lywind English. The ''purest'' Laqi dialect is known as ''High-Laqi'', spoken in Upper Lach, in the County of [[Modan-lach]]. It is this Laqi upon which the modern standardisation is based, and that which is taught in Laqi language schools and used for the great majority of publishing in the [[K'Tzuni]] region. <br /> Laqi spoken in [[Modan-lach]]'s coastal area is known as ''Low-Laqi'', and has many more imported words due to earlier contact with foreign tradesmen in the Khaz Gulf. The influx of native [[Shirithan English]] speakers to [[K'Tzuni]]'s capital, Brookshire Hamlet, during the time of the foundation of the [[Kehl]] (K'Tzuni's Baronial Legislative Body) also led to a noticable increase in colloquial Shirithan English words in Laqi circulating amongst Laqi speakers in the city.<br /> <br /> ===History===<br /> <br /> ===Grammar===<br /> <br /> Laqi syntax and grammar has been heavily influenced by the calques of numerous Indo-European languages, sharing similarities in conjugation, case utilisation, and personal pronouns with both the Slavic and Germanic branches of that language family.<br /> However, unusually for a language of Indo-European influence, Laqi is Kazakh is generally verb-final, though various permutations on SOV word order can be used depending on dialect and context.<br /> The usage of personal pronouns and conjugation is also comparable to the Altaic family tree, however, with the Turkic system of suffix addition being employed widely across the Laqi language to conjugate verbs. <br /> Unusually, as well as a singular and plural form of nouns, Laqi also maintains a dual form- found also in Slovenian- which is widely used. Colloquially, the plural form is often not used, instead repeating the noun twice, hyphenated, as in Indonesian and Malay.<br /> <br /> =====Cases=====<br /> Laqi has five cases. Case endings are applied to the last ending of a noun or adjective. <br /> These cases are the Nominative ''(subject)'', Accusative ''(direct object)'', Genitive ''(possessive)'', Dative''(indirect object)'', and Instrumental ''(comitative)''. <br /> <br /> {|class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Declension of Laqi nouns<br /> !Case<br /> !Possible forms<br /> !Gema &quot;''ship''&quot;||Ҳavьa &quot;''air''&quot;||Uram &quot;''bucket''&quot;||Sәdiz &quot;''carrot''&quot;||Gobьv &quot;''head''&quot;||Zel &quot;''salt''&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !Nom<br /> | —||—||Gema||Ҳavьa||Uram||Sәdiz||Gobьv||Zel<br /> |-<br /> !Acc<br /> | -N,M,T||-nu, -nө, -nә, -mә, -mө, -ta, -tun||Gema'''nu'''||Ҳavьa'''nө'''||Uram'''(ь)mә'''||Sәdiz'''mө'''||Gobьv'''ta'''||Zel'''tun'''<br /> |-<br /> !Gen<br /> | -Ŋ,T||-ŋaŋ, -ŋarŋar, -ŋaŋaŋ, -ŋaŋu, -tog, -tet||Gema'''nu'''||Ҳavьa'''ŋarŋar'''||Uram'''ŋaŋaŋ'''||Sәdiz'''ŋaŋu'''||Gobьv'''tog'''||Zel'''tet'''<br /> |-<br /> !Dat<br /> | -Š||-šu, -šet, -šeš, -šem, -šar, šor||Gema'''šu'''||Ҳavьa'''šet'''||Uram'''šeš'''||Sәdiz'''šem'''||Gobьv'''šar'''||Zel'''šor'''<br /> |-<br /> !Inst<br /> | -B,Ž||-bo, -bet, -ben, -vet, -žen, -žaz<br /> ||Gema'''bo'''||Ҳavьa'''bet'''||Uram'''ben'''||Sәdiz'''vet'''||Gobьv'''žen'''||Zel'''žaz'''<br /> |-<br /> |}<br /> <br /> =====Pronouns=====<br /> Laqi has eight personal pronouns:<br /> <br /> {|class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Personal pronouns<br /> !colspan=&quot;2&quot;|Singular<br /> !colspan=&quot;2&quot;|Plural<br /> |-<br /> !Laqi||English||Laqi||English<br /> |-<br /> |Nog||I||Mus||We<br /> |-<br /> |Tat||You ''(singular informal)''||Ta||You ''(plural informal)''<br /> |-<br /> |Tet||You ''(singular formal)''||Te||You ''(plural formal)''<br /> |-<br /> |Əl/Ələ,Əlo ||He/She/It||Əlar||They<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Writing System===<br /> <br /> The Laqi alphabet is generally phoenetic, though there are regional variations in Upper Lach (see [[Modan-lach]]) and stress changes according to gender endings of adjectives and nouns.
