Kingdom of Galatoi

 * Government: Monarchy.
 * King: Isarnus Aendarus (1552-nowadays). Isarnus, which means "Iron" in Galatoin, is the only son of Magnurius. Since childroon, Isarnus was interested in war and fights and he later studied military science in Mauretania. Isarnus is well-respected in military and among artists.
 * Magnurius Aendarus (1531-1552). Magnurius was the only relative to the former king of Galatoi, who passed away in 1530. He was coronated in the times of peace, and peace he promised, and peace he brought. Since then, the new dynasty shall reign: the Aendarus family.
 * Economy: Agrarian economy with heavy focus on gold and slave trade. Due to the devastating civil war, the economy of Galatoi is severely damaged. 
 * Capital: Advorix
 * Demographics: The population of Galatoi is approximately two and a half million people, most of them (95%) live in rural areas. The map shows ethnicities and religions of Galatoi: Grey - almost no people live there except for a few minor settlements. blue - Galatoins (a million people), turquoise - ethnic minoroties but their religion is Ateuritism (Galatoin religion), light green - ethnic minorities who worship Ares or other deities. The regions are reffered as "Blue Galatoi", "Turquoise Galatoi", and "Green Galatoi" respetively.The map of "Blue", "Turquoise", and "Green" Galatois
 * Wars and Conflicts: none
 * Military: 12000 troops, big share of them are slaves. Cavalry is also present but in small numbers.
 * Events:
 * Homoeroticism: In recent years, homoeroticism is becoming noticeable in Galatoin mythology and art. The male deities of Ateuritism are paired in stories. In different regions, there are different pairs, which causes tensions between worshippers from different regions of Galatoi. The biggest conflict is between LeuTius followers (Leuceni, God of Instinct and Apathy + Atregtius, God of Justice and Righteousness) and LeuVirus followers (Leuceni, God of Instinct and Apathy + Sacravirus, God of Senseless Destruction). Artists, writers and poets use characters in their works of art to express a variety of feelings and situations. However, priests and religious leaders in general call it heretic and barbaric.
 * 1556 religious tax: Much lands in Blue Galatoi have been gradually absorbed by the Church of Advorix since it was created centuries ago. After the war with Ares cultists broke off and Galatoi was defeated, religious figures used current political climate to become the dominant force in the society. Since Isarnus came to the throne, the Advorix Church was not very fond of his policies.During the Inquisition, the stolen property that belonged to the Ares Cult was given to the local lords loyal to the King instead of the Church. In addition, Isarnus supports the artists and the military, which were in conflict with the Church. In 1556, to fill the treasury and weaken the Church, Isarnus introduced the Advorix tax, which includes taxing the Church. A few days later, the leader of the Advorix Church issued an official boycott of the King and his subordinates. Soon after, the local lords appointed by Magnurius, who have already established themselves there, broke off from Galatoi. Thus, the Galatoin Civil War has begun. (This map shows the state of Galatoi at the beggining of each year)
 * Civil war: 


 * 1556: The local lords appointed by Magnurius broke off from the Galatoi domain, while the rest of what was left from Galatoi was split between the Church and the King. The Church also had a strong presence in the Velitia region and they later overthrew the local lord and established a theocratic government there. The turquoise province north-east to Blue Galatoi joined the loyalist forces. However, the northern villages were subjugated by the local Church forces.
 * 1557: As the region is becoming more unstable, the kings to the west see this as an opportunity to seize more territories under their control. Thus, the kings of Ghana and Djenne conquered some of the neighbouring provinces. The Church forces absorb one more region to the north-east of Velitia. At the same time, Isarnus sent a request to the king of Ghana to join his side and the request was accepted.
 * 1558: Although Isarnus and his army won in several battles, cutting off the territories controlled by the Church in half, the military force of Ghana suffered severe losses in the battles with the Church. Soon after, they signed white peace and left the war. In addition, a local lord that used to be allied with the King broke off from the loyalist forces. Isarnus was angry at both of them, but he couldn’t do anything about it. On the other hand, he also won a few battles in the south-west, crippling the position of the Church there.
 * 1559: The King won the battle for Velitia, and destroyed the remains of the Church forces there. In addition, some local lords broke off from the theocratic regime that was established in the region. However, the Church still has strong positions in the south-west, so it is a matter of time when Isarnus restores order there.
