His Majesty King Kārlis IV of Chistopol
General (Retired)
Defender of the Dievas Faith

Kārlis spent his childhood constantly on the run from the Communist invaders from Kaitaine and Rodina. He was born in 1932 and was the third child of King Robertas II and Queen Sigrid II however when he was just a couple of months old the invasion began and the royals were captured by Communists who had infiltrated the Palace staff. Kārlis however was in another part of the Palace at the time and his nanny Iveta Saar and a squad of Royal Guardsman were able to smuggle the child out of the Palace and to safety. The rest of the royal family were executed meaning at just three months of age Kārlis became King of Chistopol.

For the next 16 or so years Kārlis was moved from hiding spot to hiding spot by loyalists and it was during this time he began to be educated in guerrilla warfare as it was seen as a necessity that he would need to aid the fight for the Kingdoms liberation from Communism. The young King became a renowned climber and was often utilised in the rocky outcrops of the interior to help launch sneak attacks on enemy positions. In 1950 he was given command of his own unit which were known as the King's Royal Rangers (KRR) however he was still unwilling to take command of the whole loyalist forces. During an offensive in 1957 the town of Arsk was liberated from Communist rule for a week, during which the Royal Guardsman oversaw the official coronation of King Kārlis ensuring the photos and video of the event were smuggled out of the nation to show the world. Having been crowned the 25 year old took more and more direct command of his military and utilising smuggled weapons and captured equipment forged the guerrilla army into a more regular force. Little by little the Loyalist forces pushed the Communists out of the nation but at a great cost in human life, a fact that the King still struggles to come to terms with today. In 1966 the final Communist forces were driven out of Chistopol and the Communist leader Bruno Petrauskas was beheaded by a mob who had stormed the government building before the military arrived.

In 1967 the King had a 2nd coronation and began a process of re-establishing the various elements of the government that had been in place before the conquest. The King realised that it would be necessary for the people to begin to have the final say in the decisions of their nation and so his reforms saw gradual change in balance of power. Before Kārlis' reign the Chamber of the People had been seen as a tool to carry out the will of the King however from 1967 onwards Kārlis began to adopt an approach where the monarch was simply the person who carried out the orders of the people. Since 1975 King Kārlis has taken no action, except in times of national emergencies, without it either coming through legislation from the Chamber of the People or having received their approval.

The King maintained service in the military as a reservist until 1984 becoming the General of the National Reserve Forces. In total he had served 36 years in the military.

In 1952 a then 20 year old Kārlis married a fellow Guerrilla fighter called Kaia Liepiņš. She was crowned as Queen in a ceremony the day after Kārlis was named King. The couple had one son, Kārlis Junior who was born in 1956. Sadly Queen Kaia was killed during an air-strike in 1960, Kārlis Junior survived however the four year old did lose the sight in one eye.

In 1967 the King remarried this time marrying the grand-daughter of Iveta Saar who had rescued him as a baby from the Palace. Anneli Saar became Queen Anneli I and gave birth to two children, Prince Oļegs in 1970 and Prince Motiejus in 1973. The pair were married until 2009 when Anneli died from complications during a operation.

The King is well known for being public about a lack of what he calls "Book Learning" with no formal education he openly admits he struggles to read many official papers without advice and often requires briefings on significant global pieces of legislation and organisation. This is one reason why he was so desperate post the occupation by the Communists to get an education system established. He had Prince Oļegs sent to Lodja for his education and Prince Motiejus was sent to Kodumaa to ensure both received a standard of education denied to him. In 2017 the King tried to set an example to his people about the importance of education by sitting his high school Russian and Maths exams, he scored a C in Russian and a D in Maths. Many media outlets painted this as an error in judgement publically announcing he had sat them and his results. The Royals though pointed to the King's military records where he had always scored in the top 5% of any course he had taken.

The King in his spare time is a major fan of football and still partakes in some woodwork, he has restored many furniture items for the Palace.

His Majesty Crown Prince Kārlis (Junior) of Chistopol
Duke of Tartu

The only child of King Kārlis and his first wife Queen Kaia he was born during the middle of the wars to gain the nation freedom from the Communist occupation in 1956. He spent his early years constantly moving with a bodyguard of Royal Guardsman to try and keep him away from potential danger. He saw very little of his father during his childhood and saw Lt-Col Valter Kalniņš as a father figure as he commanded the detachment tasked with protecting the young Prince. Unfortunately in 1960 while travelling between safe houses the convoy he was travelling in was hit by a Kaitaine air strike which killed his mother. The Prince survived but he lost the sight in his left eye which in 1970 at the age of 14 was removed and replaced with a glass eye.

While the nation had seen the Communist begin leaving from 1966 the King was concerned about the future of the crown and whether the citizens of Chistopol would accept the royal family back in a leadership role. This saw him maintain a strong loyal guard around his son but with a team of four tutors. His lack of public education and constant moving around the nation meant that he struggled to form friendships and today many who meet him consider him rather cold.

From 1980 onwards he was made the Duke of Tartu, the nations capital, and a title traditionally given to the heir to the throne. He began work in the Ministry of Defence as civil servant and actually showed a flair for cold and calculated management. He brought a good level of efficency to his department and quickly was put in charge of the management of the Ministry of Defences administration.  His father tried encouraging him to seek a position within the democractically elected government however he refused believing that as his father was pushing more power to the citizens the sight of him within the Chamber of the People would send a negative message. Instead until 2001 and remained quietly organising the Ministry behind the scenes.

In 2001 he began experiencing vision problems in his good eye and spent time in Lodja being treated and was fortunate enough to have his vision saved. He was however convinced that he would lose his vision and so taught himself braille in preparation being determined to return to his department within the Ministry of Defence. Upon returning to Chistopol he established a school for children with disabilities of which he has been the Principle of since its formation.

In 1978 he married Tatiana Šimonis who was the daughter of one of his tutors whom he was introduced to at a hunting weekend. The pair have never really been exceptionally close and are very rarely seen in public together. The now Princess Tatiana has given them two sons Prince Bruno (b.1979) and Prince Jaguup (b.1983) however he is a rather distant father to them preferring to spend time in his office. Prince Bruno has two children Princess Ingrid (b.2008) and Princess Jannika (b. 2011). Prince Jaguup has  two children Prince Tarmo (b.2009) and Princess Jana (b.2013).

With his father now getting old in years there is a growing expectation that Crown Prince Kārlis will have to begin taking over more royal duties but he has to this point been reluctant to do so.

His Majesty Prince Oļegs
Squadron Leader (retired)

Oļegs was born in 1970 and is King Kārlis 2nd son, but his first with his 2nd wife Queen Anneli. His father was now free of the pressing concerns of a Communist occupation and so was much more devoted to his family. Oļegs was therefore able to enjoy a much more conventional childhood than his half brother Crown Prince Kārlis. His father though was concerned about ensuring the leadership of the Kingdom would be able to prepared to undertake the future running of the nation and was therefore sent to Lodja for his education from the age of 11-18. He returned to Chistopol regularly during school holidays and enjoyed spending time hunting and riding with his father and younger brother Motiejus.

While in Lodja Prince Oļegs spent a fair amount of time on the Isle of the Goddess among the court of Queen Sonya. He was also there able to indulge in his love of music and learned to play a variety of instruments including his favourite the clarinet. As he reached the age of 16 he attended many of the balls famed to take place in Lodja and earned himself a reputation as a bit of a ladies man among the Lodjain ladies, partly because of his percieved dashing good looks but also the fact he was a Prince also helped. There were occasions where Queen Sonya attempted to persuade him to marry some of her grand-daughters however his father was determined that he would marry a well connected Chistopolian.

Once he returned to Chistopol he enrolled in the Air Force as an officer and learned to fly helicopters. He served in the Air Force from 1987 until retiring from military service in 2015. During his time in the military he first served as a transport helicopter pilot before becoming the pilot for a combat medic unit. In 2008 he became the lead instructor for the nations helicopter training programme and held this position until his retirement. His father was determined that his position as a Prince not be a factor in his career and so actually held back his son on one occasion from gaining promotion only to be told by the Air Chief Marshall that his son deserved the promotion as he had finished top of his class in terms of formal assessments. His father relented and never again tried to interfere in the career of his son.

After the end of his military career and seeing his father's determination that education be seen as important he enrolled himself at University and has been pursuing a degree in International Politics and is due to graduate in 2021 with a Masters degree. He has already stated his intention upon graduation to ask his father to make him an ambassador with a stated preference for returning to Lodja where he still has many connections.

In 1993 he married Svetlana Kazlauskas who is the daughter of a minor noble from Chistopol but had been part of the Royal Guardsman during the fight against the Communists. While Oļegs has followed his father as a practioner of the Dievas faith his wife follows the Dodola branch of the faith which caused some concern in the early days. The couple have three children (Princess Viktoria, Prince Miķelis and Prince Artūras) but have publically stated that they shall be raised in the Dievas tradition.

His Majesty Prince Motiejus
Lt-Col (retired)
Spearman of the Dievasian Order

Born in 1973 he is the youngest of King Kārlis three sons, his 2nd with Queen Anneli. Like his elder brother Oļegs he was able to build a strong relationship with his father. He also shares an extremely strong bond with his elder brother who is three years older than him. The Prince as a child was obsessed with animals and would often be found on the royal estate trying to help the tennant farmers who worked the land. He had an exceptional fondness for playing with the sheep dogs that the farmers used for herding their animals and even learned how to call them with the traditional calls and whistles. As a child he constantly begged his father for a pet dog of his own however with hsi father Kārlis determined that Motiejus would follow his elder brother and be educated abroad he was unwilling to grant him his wish.

In 1984 Prince Motiejus was sent to Kodumaa to be educated at a boarding school. While there he got in trouble for smuggling a puppy into the school and trying to keep it in his room. He also became interested in the military while in  Kodumaa having seen their large military and become interested in History where he learned about the disasterous occupation of his own nation. He was determined therefore to become an officer in the Chistopol military and upon his return one summer completed several state visits to military bases in order to determine which branch of service he wanted to join.

Upon leaving school in 1991 he tried out for the nations Royal Parachute Regiment and was accepted as an officer. He served in the military with great distinction helping pioneer many new methods utilising contacts he had made in Kodumaa to learn more about how to incorporate more cutting edge technology. His direct line to the King and with his elder brother so entrenched in the Ministry of Defence he was able to exert a great deal of influence of the reforms to the military and the procurement programmes. This did bring problems as in 2005 a newspaper report claimed the Prince was exercising royal influence to get his own way. This was something he denied and his commanding officer publically supported him. In 2014 he was named as the chief assessing officer for the nations Paratrooper school a position he held until retiring from the military in 2019.

In 2019 an opening came up in the ceremonial religious guard unit known as the Spearmen of the Dievasian Order a body that provide ceremonial guards for rituals and processions. The body has just 60 members and individuals are members for life with their replacement being selected by a vote of the remaining members. The Prince became the first royal in 209 years to be admitted into the group.

In 1991 upon leaving school he finally got the dog he had always wanted, a Chistpol Sheep Dog named Rex who became an unofficial Platoon mascot for the regiment. When Rex died in 2003 he was given a military burial by the Prince's Battalion. The Prince has had several other dogs since 1991 and currently is the owner of a 3 year old Chistpol Sheep Dog called Max and a Scent Hound called Holly. The Prince is the patron of the National Animal Protection League and is currently trying to pioneer a program of turning abandoned dogs in shelters into service dogs.

In 1996 he married Ruslana Butkus who is the daughter of a Duke of a coastal town. The pair had meet at a royal banquet held to mark the nations independence. They have two sons, Augustinas (born 1998) and Titas (born 2001)

Lady Viktoras
Royal Matron

Born in 1995 to Prince Oļegs and his wife Svetlana she has inherited a rather strange position within the Kingdom. Chistopol tradition dictates that the Royal Matron is a position given to the most senior royal female, either through marriage to the King or by being a blood descendent. Out of the 11 descendants of King Kārlis she is the only female. Her role is to be the hostess of state functions alongside her grand-father.

As the first girl born to the royal family post independence she has in some ways been a little spoilt especially by her grandfather, much to the annoyance of her father Prince Oļegs. Partly as a worry about her being spoilt as she reached her teenage years she followed in her fathers footsteps and was sent to Lodja to be educated. She attended the same school as Queen Klara's older brother Genadi and while the two are not close friends they got along well. Since Klara ascended the throne in Lodja there were rumours that her grand-father would seek to marry her off to the Lodjain Prince however this was shot down even before it could be acted on by her father. Prince Oļegs was determined that his daughter marry a Chistopolian.

Having returned to live in Chistopol in 2013 she enrolled at University to study Business Management and graduated in 2016. She had intended to put her degree to use by starting her own business in the hospitality industry however her grand-father persuaded her to accept the vacant role of Royal Patron. She accepted and has since been using her position to try and promote the aims of her father through charitable work. Her biggest goal at the moment is to end child malnutrition which has been identified as an issue particularly towards the southern parts of the nation.

First Minister Darijus Laine
Representative for Mägise
Leader of the Chistopol Unity Party
 

Born in 1971 Darijus is the current First Minister of Chistopol meaning that he is responsible for setting the day to day agenda of the national government.

He is the second child of Konrad Laine and Eleanor Laine a pair of dairy farmers from the small town of Mägise in central Chistopol. His father had been a veteran of the War for Independence and was a long time suffer of PTSD which was triggered by loud noises and as such he would rather spend time out in the fields than around the town or even his own house. Darijus would often get sent out by his mother to check on his father and as such developed a love for hiking and being around nature. In 1979 he joined the Young Pioneers youth club and his mother jokes that from that point on she never saw him as almost all his spare time was spent on projects for the group.

In 1982 he won a scholarship to the Tartu Grammar School having performed exceptionally well in his 11+ exam. He became the first student from Mägise to be accepted into the prestigious school. Despite the honour and the quality of education he was being given he missed the outdoors of Mägise and became homesick really quickly. He was encouraged to remain at the school though by his House Master Rasmus Ilves who was a well respected member of the militias during the War for Independence and had become a leading lawyer. He inspired Darijus to take an interest in politics, debating and law by combining these things with his interest in nature. During his remaining time at Tartu Grammar School he was responsible for running a student team that worked to campaign for better care of the countryside and he puts this as a key moment in his development as a politician.

He was accepted into Tartu University to study Law in 1989 following a glowing reference from his mentor Rasmus Ilves. While at the University he became even more interested in politics however did not select a political party at this point rather electing to attend meetings of several different parties. He also became part of the National Restoration Congress (NRC) which was an organisation that investigated collaboration during the War of Independence and helped prepare court of anyone deemed to have supported the Communists. When he left University in 1993 he continued working for the NRC where he became responsible for handling some of the more straight forward cases as he built up his experience as a lawyer.

In 1999 he finally made his decision about which political part to support and joined the centre-right leaning Chistopol Unity Party (CUP) which places an emphasis on maintaining a minimum amount of power in the monarchy, few restrictions on daily life and a protection of traditional religious values. Initially he stood for election in 2001 after the representative for his hometown of Mägise resigned because of ill health. The rural town was a strong hold for the CUP and naturally Darijus won easily. He was given a role as a Junior Minister in the Department for Justice and worked hard to find his feet. Over the next decade he was extremely active in pushing the party forward towards an agenda of supporting rural communities to develop after the huge damage done in the 1960's by the Communists and in 2005 became Minister for Agriculture and the Fishing. He was instrumental in bringing in laws to protect the coasts of the nation and established several environmental protection areas. In 2010 the Parties leader retired and the Deputy Leader Jaak Mägi assumed control. He appointed Darijus as his deputy.

The period between 2011-2016 however were difficult times for the party as it became clear that while Jaak Mägi was a charismatic leader he lacked the ability to take the nation beyond the advances that they had already made. This was shown in the 2016 election where the CUP's majority was cut from a comfortable 33 seats down to just 2. The party rebelled against Mägi and in the subsequent leadership race Darijus came out ahead becoming both the leader of the CUP and the nations First Minister. He immediately set about a rapid series of reforms designed at trying to modernise the industry of Chistopol while opening the nation up to the world. He pushed through a host of educational reforms and built connections between the CUP and all three of the nations native faiths ensuring that a representative of each sat in the upper chamber of the nations legislature. In Feb of 2020 elections were held and Darijus won his seat in Mägise by taking 71% of the local vote, a record for Chistopol. The CUP regained many lost seats and earned themselves a 24 seat majority.

Away from his career in politics Darijus still finds time to promote his love of the countryside. He is a registered Young Pioneer leader and tries to be as hands on with helping the youth organisation as he can. He also is seen regularly back in Mägise visiting his elderly mother and father who still live in the old farmhouse while his elder sister Yulia and her husband run the family farm which was expanded by purchasing the neighbours farm in 1997 when the whole family including Darijus clubbed together.

In 1996 Darijus married Loviise who was a Priestess of Dievas who also helped at a Youth Pioneer group her temple ran. In 1998 they had their first daughter called Piret who is currently studying a Masters degree in Agricultural Sciences. In 2000 their son was born, Ilmar, who is a Air Traffic Controller in the nations Air Force. Their second daughter, Anu, was born in 2004 and is following in her father's footsteps by studying at Tartu Grammar School.

Minister of Finance - Raisa Ozolinsky
Representative for Hõreda

Born in 1956 Raisa is the youngest daughter of a former river fisherman called Kurt Ozolinsky. The family moved from their riverside village when Raisa was just 4 years old because of fighting during the War of Independence. Her father used his various small river fishing boats to help move supplies for the Royalist forces while his wife and two daughters remained hidden in the forests of Northern Chistopol. In 1965 sadly her father was captured by Communist forces and spent the rest of the war (7 months) in a prison camp where he almost died of cholera as well as being severally beaten. In a weakened state upon his release he was never truly able to return to the family riverside business and so Raisa's mother became the primary bread winner of the family. Raisa and her sister both tried to help out and in 1969 the family converted one of their storehouses into a riverside cafe which Raisa would work in after getting home from school.

During her days at schools Raisa was a rather average students but all her teachers commented upon an excellent work ethic where she wouldn't leave classrooms at break or home time until she had grasped the problems she faced in class. In 1974 she graduated high school and was given an apprenticeship in an accountancy firm. She utilised the new skills to help the financial aspects of her family fishing and cafe business and soon through clever use of taxes, investments and some good luck the family were able to buy another location just up the road from their home where they set up a smokehouse for fish and a restaurant. These businesses were run day to day by Raisa's elder sister Joanna.

In 1983 Raisia married a local haulage business owner called Vitali, the two have a son called Ilian (b.1985) and Svetlana (b.1988). In 1990 Svetlana became rather ill and the town where the family lived had poor hospital facilities, this outraged Raisa who began campaigning for better health care for rural communities. In 1992 she stood as an independent for election into the Chamber of the People on a platform of rural renewal. She won her seat by a landslide however as one of only two independents in the Chamber she couldn't effect much change. In the run up to the 1997 election she was approached by the National Unity Party and impressed by their manifesto she joined them. Her rural home had seen her dedication to taking their problems to the highest office in the land and so readily voted for her still.

In 1997 she was named to her first Ministerial position as the Minister for Farming, Fisheries and the Countryside. Under her term in office she worked hard to try and put in place schemes to support modernisation and reclamation of land damaged by the Soviet's scorched earth policies. In 2002 she was once more re-elected and made Minister for Trade and Commerce however when a junior minister in her office was caught using funds fraudulently she had little choice but to resign and go to the back benches. Her time there however was short lived as the First Minister at the time in 2003 asked her to head a team exploring ideas for urban regeneration. Her work was rather impressive and when the First Minister resigned because of ill health in 2004 she stood for leadership of the Party missing out on the position by just 3 votes. Sadly her rival still perceived her as a threat and so she was once more cast onto the back benches.

In 2007 she was once more re-elected and was named as Minister of Finance a position she held through the whole of that term of office. In 2012 she did not stand for re-election as her husband had been given the chance to open a business in Lodja. The family relocated there for a while however with the business up and running they made the decision in 2016 to return to Chistopol for the elections and Raisa was welcomed back to the party being permitted to run for her old seat. Once elected she was appointed to be Deputy First Minister under Darijus Laine however in 2019 the Minister of Finance resigned for ill health and Raisa requested to swap jobs always feeling more comfortable with book-keeping and economics than wider political matters. She also cited the fact she thought the Deputy First Minister should be someone being groomed to take the position one day and now at 63 years of age her chance of becoming First Minister was slim. Laine agreed and she moved into the position she holds today.

She is a believer in the government trying to keep taxes as low as possible while using what funding they do have to "prime the pumps" of the local economies. As such she looks at helping businesses access low coast micro-loans often funded by local collectives rather than major financial institutions.

Away from politics she still enjoys spending time on the river and is among her party colleagues well respected for her fish dishes at dinner parties.

Luule Koppel
Representative for Aranküla
Leader of the Three Leopards Party

Born in 1985 in the southern boarder town of Aranküla she was born into a political family. Her grand-father Heino Koppel founded the Three Leopards Party and is considered somewhat of a nationalist icon. Heino was one of several military officers who following the defeat of the Communists formed the Three Leopards who undertook efforts to carry out revenge attacks on suspected Communist sympathises who had escaped justice in a series of amnesties. In 1968 Heino was arrested for several murders and imprisoned however in a further amnesty he was released and reformed the group as a political party. He turned the party into a minor political force until his resignation from politics in 1997. The party had several other leaders however Heino's own children showed little interest in politics other than supporting their father at rallies. Luule was born in 1985 to Heino's son Mart who had married another Three Leopards leader's daughter, Marina Schnoka.

Luule grew up on the families Orchid where she often helped her retired grand-father make pear cider. She was excluded from school in 1995 for taking a bottle of the cider into school and sharing it with three of her friends. The incident made her grand-father extremely angry and he essentially took over her education and imposed strict discipline upon her.

In 1997 Luule's father Mart ran for the Chamber of the People in the neighbouring town of Kalevi however didn't get elected. The family moved soon after to the capital when Luule's father got a job teaching at an agricultural college. This meant that Luule began to no longer be home schooled by her grand-father. She was considered an average student but excelled at sport and joined the Youth Pioneers not long after moving to the capital. She soon rose through the ranks of the scout like youth group and seemed intent on joining the military.

In 2002 her grand-father died in bomb blast at a ceremony to commemorate the foundation of the Three Leopards. The perpatrators were members of the Communist Party that the Three Leopoards had just successfully petitioned to have banned and excluded from Chistopol politics. The assassins have never been captured and this was one of the things that spurred Luule into taking an interest in the party to try and ensure the Communists could never come back to Chistopol.

In 2003 she began studying History and Politics at Tartu University and stood for the Student Council there earning one of the three seats avaliable. She split her time between student politics and her degree work. Her primary campaigns during this time focused on supporting social mobility in rural areas and anti-communist ideas. In her final year of University she stood for election as Student Council Leader for the nation however polled only 22% of the national vote.

Upon leaving University in 2006 she got involved in national politics by being an aide to several sitting members of the Three Leopards Party. Her connection to the legendary founder of the party went a long way to helping her make progress. In 2009 she stood for election for the first time in the very nationalistic town of Mälivere and won the seat with ease. She was successful in helping the party grow its youth wing and in 2010 masterminded the campaign that saw the party have its candidate for leader of the Student Council succeed in getting elected. In 2015 she challenged for leadership of the party and won easily. That same year in National elections she switched her seat from Mälivere to the less than safe one of her hometown of Aranküla and was successful swinging the seat away from the Chistopol Unity Party. She has been successful in targetting seats in by-elections for her party and has now ensured the party has passed the 5% threshold needed to be able to contribute potential legislation on "Opposition Days".

Luule is not married however has been in a long term relationship with Henri Kallaste who is a historian who works for The Dievasian Order, the nations largest religious group. The pair have been together since 2014 when they meet during Henri's research into a book about Luule's grand-father.
