Kingdom of Galatoi (WIP)

 * Government: Monarchy.
 * King: Isarnus Aendarus (1552-nowadays). Isarnus, which means "Iron" in Galatoin, is the only son of Magnurius. Since childhood, Isarnus was interested in war and fights and he later studied military science in Mauretania. Isarnus is well-respected in the 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.
 * The economy of Galatoi is still devastated by the civil war and the recent conquests by the King. On the other hand, the introduction of the Atlantic Slave Trade made it possible for slaveowners to profit and become major landowners that replaced the lords that were appointed by Magnurius. In addition, during the Iron Conquests, two big goldmines were taken over by the King, so the gold trade was renewed in the region.
 * Capital: Advorix
 * Demographics: The population of the kingdom is around 3 million people in 1565 (including tributaries). The population of Blue Galatoi is approximately one million people, most of them (95%) live in rural areas.
 * Advorix is the capital and the biggest city of Galatoi. It is the commercial, political, cultural, and religious center of the region, including the slave trade. It was also the center of the Advorix Church before the civil war.
 * Although Velitia was the center of the theocratic regime that opposed the King during the Civil War and shrank in size significantly since then, it is still one of the biggest cities of Galatoi and also a major educational and religious center of the region.
 * Baccuso is one of the oldest cities in the history of Galatoi, thus an important political center, but also a major naval port.
 * Saminia is one of the major commercial and political centers in the region, rivaling with Advorix.
 * The location of Donnius made it the biggest naval port of Galatoi and it is home to thousands of sailors.
 * Diplomacy: peace :3
 * Military: 25000 troops (in 1565), a big share of them are slaves. Cavalry is also present but in small numbers. Isarnus opened the very first professional military academy in Advorix in 1554, similar to the one in Mauretania where he studied military science.
 * Events:
 * Homoeroticism: Homoeroticism has become 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.​​
 * Atlantic Slave Trade: Since the Atlantic Slave Trade emerged, the slaveowners in Galatoi now have access to the markets in the Americas as a source of new profit. Since the economy was severely ruined as a result of the Civil War, the new social class of major landowners who profited from the slave trade with Europeans emerged. In fact, they becme so powerful, that they managed to put enough pressure on the King to sign certain trade agreements with Agousta.
 * Decentralisation: Although Isarnus is a genius at warfare and military strategy, his administrative skills leave something to be desired. Like his father Magnurius, Isarnus appointed several people he trusted as vassals in the regions to ensure stability of the expanding empire. Most of the appointed local lords were from the military, because only there he saw true loyalty to him.
 * University of Velitia: the University of Velitia has been the most prestigious university in the region since it was founded. However, it was destroyed during the battle for Velitia (1557) as it was used as the center of the theocratic regime that opposed the king there. The reconstruction of the university was commissioned by Taurina, a wealthy slave trader, in 1563, who sooner was appointed as the vassal of the King in the Velitia region.
 * Secularisation: The Civil War was the turning point in the history of Ateuritism in Galatoi. Isarnus, who was opposed by the Advorix Church, reformed it by executing the former religious leaders and replacing them with the ones who were loyal to him. In addition, all the property of the Church, except for the church buildings, were expropriated and later distributed to the commoners and the vassals of the King.
