Kingdom of Lustria | 'The Eternal Kingdom of the Lizard Gods'

 * Government: Pseudo-despotic monarchy (technically a centralised tribal monarchy)
 * Great Chief / Mortal Bearer of the Lizard Gods:
 * K'oroka ([F], b. 1199-1246, r. 1222-1246)
 * Moszar ([M], b. 1214, r. 1246-1258)
 * Urchannk ([M], b. 1230-1284, r. 1258-1284)
 * Azarkel ([F], b. 1255-1303, r. 1284-1303)
 * Oroku ([F], b. 1280, r. 1303-)
 * Urgoka ([F], b. 1302, heir)
 * Krokezal (M], b. 1320, pretender)
 * Dynasty: Urchannkian (est. 1275)
 * Capital: Amekrog
 * Economy: For the former half of the 14th century, the Lustrian Kingdom has a stable economy that is continuing to thrive. Agriculture, trading and crafting (which has a larger percentage now) make up the components of the kingdom's own economy. This is especially true with the Amazon river system that allows rafts and trading canoes to be sent to the Tupi kingdoms and be sent back with other resources through bartering. On 1317, the Atlanteans and Lustrians met by the coast of the Guyana, trading goods and things that the Lustrians have never seen before. This is about to bring huge economic growth and prosperity, especially with the innovation of the sail and some new seeds that were totally unknown to the Lustrian people and the Amazon at the time too.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 36 800 (expecting peak by next turn around ~48 000 and down the turn after)
 * Amekrog: 2 000
 * Osbme: 500
 * Koos'en: 300
 * Eztekol: 210
 * Sal'tcet: 150
 * Os'kel: 70
 * Gkor: 80
 * Oppoks'ren: 120
 * Yok: 40
 * Mur'lok: 350
 * Rest is just rural or other villages
 * Religion: 92% Lustrian folk religion, 2% Tupi folk religion, 6% Krokanist (a 'reformed' Lustrian religion with a more centralised belief system)
 * Culture/Ethnicity: 97% Lustrian, 3% Tupi
 * Military: A slightly more organised military is being put underway in the former half of the 14th century. Aside from the lizard warriors, where they are trained and sworn to secrecy about their methods and how they operate, the rest of the warriors in the Lustrian warrior caste have found themselves to become known as the Rainforest Warriors rather than being untitled and voluntary. 'Bowed Protectors' (as called in Lustrian) are the archers of the Lustrian military and have been separate from the Rainforest Warriors under Azarkel's reign over the kingdom. They are trained to make their shot as accurate as possible, hitting targets for hunting purposes and to fight enemies.
 * Army:
 * 95 'Lizard Warriors' (clubmen with wooden with 'sparsely metallic' shields)
 * 470 'Rainforest Warriors' (clubmen/spearmen)
 * 180 'Bowed Protectors' (archers)
 * 23 000 fit men that could be trained into being warriors or hunters
 * Navy:
 * 320 canoes and rafts
 * 8 'sailships'
 * 70 trading canoes
 * Diplomacy:
 * Tupi Tribes: Trade is slowly being reduced under Oroku. This does raise some suspicion though.
 * Atlantis: More scout expeditions are sent to the north, although there's few boats that were sent there too to contact the Atlanteans, all from the advice of a blessed man who claims to have seen everything and wished to seek reform and modernisation of the kingdom.
 * Events:
 * A Blessed Man from the Scouts, pt. 2: Rhok'sk spreads Krokanism further into the Lustrian Kingdom's own east and core territory. He also continued to become a figure that continuously pressured the Mortal Bearer to keep accepting new technology and material that is introduced by trade from the north. On 1326 (at the age of 42), he also told rumours about the revelations of the possibility that white people have the capacity of wiping out the Kingdom altogether through a mysterious curse sent by their own gods if they didn't convert to his version of a reformed Lustrian religion. He also asserted the only way to 'protect' the kingdom is to ensure that more trade is being made and that their own curse must be spread across Lustria so that once more than half or less were wiped out to 'initiate the lizard gods' own blessing': basically the Lustrian people are immunised from being killed by these people the next time anyone tries to step foot on the kingdom. However, by 1328, someone was fed up with his delusions that he was killed and stoned. This leads to anger by the modernist side and Rhok'sk was essentially 'martyred' and immortalised as a demigod by some of the more hardliner Krokanists. To them now, he was sent down and chosen by Kroak that all he is doing is to improve society. The Chief Bearer, Oroku, continued to be shaped and pressured by Krokanists, had her daughter increasingly becoming sentimental against reform and modernisation while her son, recently born on 1320, is growing up to become in favour of more trade and even considered conversion to Krokanism.
 * Modernisers and the Traditionalists, pt. 2: While Amekrogia is slowly becoming a place of trade and trade with northern Atlantean city-states continued to increase steadily with these new sailships that were built in small numbers, the western part of Lustria (Khornko'r) is turning towards worshipping and dedicating to the Lustrian god of warfare and regressivism, Khorne, hence the western part of Lustria is called Khornko'r, the land of Khrone's. Some people in these villages began chanting "blood for the blood god" in rituals for the first time round, believing that the end has come with the white people and the only way is to be with Khrone himself. Amekrogia and the eastern parts of Lustria expanded steadily, but it wouldn't take long until Rhok'sk's own prophecy of a curse being put upon the Lustrian people from the white people of the north (Atlantean city-states) would begin to manifest in the cities and soon ignite a full collapse of the kingdom. In that case, Khornko'r is preparing to separate itself. (this will happen in the next two turns and the third turn will be a full succession war)
 * Tribal Monarchy: Oroku decided that the Eternal Kingdom shall be dictated by her and thus, become a despotic monarchy. Despite that, the government system hasn't changed much over the last 50 years since Urchannk ascended to become the Mortal Bearer and reformed the Lustrian Kingdom, but she has more power in theory than ever and does not need the support of other clans and people anymore. This reform is pushed by Krokanists.
 * Religious Book of the Lustrian Faith: Krokanists began writing scriptures and things in the 1320s and onwards about the Lustrian religion in Lustrian script, using stone tablets and chiselling to complete it. Expected to be done by 1350s-60s.
