Overview

Caspian is a large nation located in Southern-Central Asia, with some claims stretching to Afghanistan and northern Caucasia. Caspian is led by Emissary MrX_1208 , the nation's first and only leader thus far. It has a population of 73 players, and its territory makes up 864 chunks. Caspian is a member of the Levantine Pact alliance. It is also a founding member of the New Orthinian Dynasty.

History

It was formed on the 17th of October, 2023, by MrX_1208, by the handing down of the Armenian government to the leadership of New Orthinia, following the Marutini crisis. The crisis was spurred by the loss of the Armenian town of Marutini, which lied at the crossroads nearby the Armenian capital of Shushi. Marutini was a town used to claim chunks that couldn’t be claimed by Shushi, but it eventually fell after the mayor stopped playing. The Armenian government had become a shell of its former self, suffering defeats in their war with Persia and losing towns left and right, but the loss of Marutini was the straw that broke the metaphorical camel’s back for many. Most members began losing their confidence in the government as a result. Now with no other solution to turn to, Armenia granted control of what remained of their nation to the user MrX_1208, which subsequently formed the Caspian Realm as a result.

Government

Caspian is a unitary state run by the Emissary, a quasi-theocratic absolute ruler, and a council of ministers dubbed the Caspian Congress. Each minister covers a certain aspect of the nation where they specialize and answers to the head of state for guidance within their sectors.

The nation is split up into three districts: The Capitol, which includes New Orthinia and the contiguous area surrounding it. The Volga Delta consists of the northernmost claims like Solec Kujawski. Finally, the Frontier which is the largest and least populated area consisting of settlements like Orchallia Inc and Veno.

Settlements

The nation is made up of seventeen towns/settlements: Nedia, Sofiya, Chime Springs, Reservoir Ridge, New Orthinia, Solec Kujawski, Kerman, Veno, Meadowshire, Meredith, Alamut, Meerkat, Sarab, Orchallia Inc, Astarakh, Vault-29, and Muffinistan. New Orthinia is the capital and largest city in the country.

New Orthinia was founded by MrX_1208 on the 13th of June, 2022. What was once a small settlement is now one of the largest cities in the region, and where a majority of the population lives, with neighboring Reservoir Ridge and Meredith also being minor population centers. New Orthinia is bordered by the Iranian town of Gilan to the east.

Alamut was founded by ZatDerpScout420 on the 14th of January, 2024. It is a mountainside fortress located just east of New Orthinia. The settlement is meant to be a recreation of the real-life castle of Alamut that existed from 865 to 1256, serving as the headquarters for the Persian Order of Assassins, who themselves operated between 1090 and 1275. The fortress was destroyed by Hülëgu Khan of the Ilkhanate in 1256, but the fortress also serves an important role in the video game series: Assassin’s Creed. The design of the fortress in the server is heavily inspired by its appearance in the game Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It is made up of 11 chunks.
