The Semuyic Kingdom of Zalkent, formerly The Republic of Zalkent, is a nation located on the Firesvar continent. Following the dissolution of the Burr Federation and the subsequent end of the Burr War, the former government was plagued with economic downturn and nationwide revolts due to the devastation of the war. During the year 2153, the Republican Government of Zalkent collapsed and the nation fell into a civil war that would last until 2166. Following the end of the civil war, the Ashigaru Dynasty was established.
Etymology
The name of the nation comes from a legend that a small group of Surnic peoples told during the era of Kyviz-Durvek. That prosperity, known as "Zal", would come to the lands after times of hardship. As such, when the nation was formed, the government honored the legacy of this small legend and created the name "Zalkent".

Politics
Government
The government consists of two institutions, the Shogun and a cabinet along with a general assembly of elected officials. The elected officials have the power to oversee day to day tasks throughout their respective provinces and report to the Shogun, while the Shogun and the cabinet oversee foreign and domestic matters as a whole. If a situation arises that requires immediate action, an assembly is held where both insitutions meet together to discuss and set forth a course of action. The Shogun holds most of the power, although regularly differs to the elected assembly.

Demographics
Languages and Culture
Due to her geographical location, Zalkent has been a melting pot between the cultures of other nations that she borders. This is reflected in the languages spoken and ethnic groups within the population. The larger population centers are primarily Surnic ethnicities while the Lesk capital region is primarily Fuyurikan. Following the Shogun's rise to power, some minor northern territories were added. The ethnicity within these regions primarily consists of Fuyurikan peoples.

Religion
Since the fall of the Republic, Zalkent has opted for the Semuyic religion to become the main religion of the state. However, despite this religious tolerance is still an active policy within Zalkent, which has led to more local religions being spread throughout the nation.

The Old Era (2137 - 2166)
The Birth of a Nation (2137 - 2139)
In the year 2137, Zalkent was formed from a union of brotherhood between the Surnic majority and the Fuyurikan minority in the area that was occupied by the Republic. This government was originally a shaky union, created mainly out of the need for survival, which is what influenced some of the policy decisions in the early days of the nation. These few years were also accompanied by the establishment of a currency, the Muira, as well as a rapid attempt to militarize whilst also taking a possession on a different continent. The possession later rebelled against the Republic, which necessitated an even faster militarization.

About The Flag
The design of the flag is reminiscent of the legend that the name of the nation is based on. Red represents the hardship that the people have had to go through, blue represents the brotherhood and unity that have formed between the people, with the gold representing prosperity. The star represents strength, willpower, and light that emanates across the nation.
Following the collapse of the Republican government and the establishment of the Ashigaru Dynasty, the Semuyic religious symbol was added to the flag, along with white which represents divinity.
