THE KINGDOM OF RENAKU


"Ren" translates to "clean" or "pure," and "Aku" could be associated with "Ak" meaning "white." The name of the nation is taken from the snow capped mountains that dominate part of the nation from where it is believed the nation originated. It is believed the Renaku "civilisation" began from the unification of several hill tribes who seemingly began unifying in the centuries that ended the Ice Age. It is at this time that it is believed a ceremonial centre was constructed at Çördük and today this stands as the capital of the nation. The nation has two definite identities. The hills feature hundreds of tribes arranged into a system of Beylik's which are like extended family groups. The second is the more modern plains which feature modern cities with smatterings of historic cities dated to the 5th Century BC when the nation began to establish itself first as a series of small Kingdoms before finally united in the 10th Century.

Today the nation is a monarchy with several, rather ineffective, checks and balances on the monarchs power.

Government
 
The nation is run by the monarch supported by a King's Council. There are however a series of agreements that act as a small level check and balanace on their power. The King's Council must approve all changes to taxation and should 2/3 of the Council oppose legislation from the King then it is blocked. In addition there is the Beylik Divan which is a council made up of the various leaders, known as Masters, of the various hill tribes. The Beylik Divan has the power to veto infastructure projects within the hills they oversee.

The Kings Council is made up of 61 individuals. The King appoints 30, the people elect 31.

Laws are passed in the following manner.

1. The King issues a Partial Decree. This is then discussed by the Beylik Divan and the Kings Council and each may give feedback on it with suggestions for amendments. The King is then free to utilise or ignore the proposals.
 
2. The King arranges a reading of the Decree before the Kings Council either the King or his appointed individual must answer questions put to them by the Council who then vote for it.

3. Should 2/3 of the Council oppose the Decree then it must be either amended or scrapped. Should it not be opposed it then becomes law.

4. Once every two weeks the King attends a meeting where the Kings Council and five delegates from the Beylik Divan may present proposals for new laws. Should the King approve of them he takes over the process as stated above.

In terms of the passing of the crown it must pass down the male bloodline and passes in order of children, siblings, cousins, uncles etc.

The Current King is Timur III of the Peynirci dynasty.

CULTURE - Not yet completed

Anyone studying Renaku culture will see two very different but connected cultures. The nations folk religion teaches that there are Gods of various natural events and places such as the Gods of the Forest, River, Sky etc. Each of these Gods helps maintain the order of the world in addition to having specific duties and tasks, for example there are several sky Gods. One is responsible for ensuring that the clouds which bring rain are formed while another maintains the stars which are said to be dwelling places of families who have pleased the Gods. While people of the "Plains" and the "Hill-Tribes" both follow these beliefs there has developed two very different cultures because of the geography of their existence

ROLE OF GENDER

Both cultures however focus on the concept of the genders having different "spheres". Both men and women are deemed equal but have seperate responsibilities, many more liberal nations may find these concepts "old fashioned" for example it is considered the role of men in both cultures to be the protector and provider of the family. Meanwhile the woman is expected to be the carer of the family. This has extended far beyond family homes. For example only men may inherit the throne or become leaders of tribes. Women however are still respected and the voice of the Queen and female elders still carries a great deal of weight within their societies. This has seen some shifts within government with certain ministerial roles being given to women, for example the Minister of Health has been held by a female for the past 20 years as it oversees domains considered within the female sphere.

Currently no women may serve in the armed forces except for in the role as a nurse. There exists a seperate military system for women who do wish to serve called the Queen's Household Regiment. This Regiment carries out largely administration and medical duties and weapons handling is only covered in much less detail than male counterparts.

ART

Art was seen as a way of capturing and showing the power of the Gods. As such much of Renaku art is inspired by religion. It is not uncommon to find many historic paintins or statues showing majestic looking Gods in some for of nature. Any art work relating to the Gods is deemed an act of worship as it shows devotion to the deity, this however is a double edged sword as any offensive image of the Gods is seen as heresy and likely to cause deep offence.
