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".

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.

About The Flag

The Flag of the Ashigaru Dynasty (2166-present day)

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.
