A Brief History
The Island of Artitsa is roughly the size of modern day China. The island was settled in 1804 by the British, who later discovered that in fact, Slavic people had inhabited the North Eastern portion of the island. The British, who were mostly of English and Scotish decent claimed the southern Portion, seperated by the Interior mountain ranges.
A number of years later, a large group of Irish Immigrants arrived and settled the western portion of Artitsa. They had left to avoid British dominance, only to discover the British contingent to their South East. For the most part, each group lived peacefully; The island was massive with great steppes, forests, mountains, and a small desert. The Irish group established the cities of Artisagrad, Galway, Arklow, Bantry, and Overshire. Each had massive fishing and agricultural industries, as the ground was fertile and virgin. Much game surrounded the area, and cattle were discovered further south, where Tuam was established.
The Russians had established themselves centuries before in the mountains; Kamskgrad had become a bustling mining town, shipping coal to the motherland. Further to the east, a fishing town, with a prominant shipwright lay Vandiskgrad. Hamdervansk and Saratov were established further south, with the former laying on the coastline of the Green Sea nestled between Three Mountain peaks. The latter, Saratov was in open plains. To the west lay a small mountain range and the interior desert. Eventually Vanuk was created on the edge of this Desert, the last Oasis before the long trek south. By the time the British had arrived, the towns of Blanistov, Bol'n, Fanskgrad, Askovo, and Borzya had poppped up and prospered.
The British had established several towns of their own; Gavinhood, Gilbenshire, Vampton, Scocts, Banton, Altunshire, Halington, Shiston, Ash-Pierre (Had some French Colonists), and Breeze. These towns rapidly industralized with their Home Country, while the two other nationalities continued their respective agricultural and resource extraction economies.

Modern Artitsa
The Hives
When the Smoke cleared and Artitsa emerged, its population had skyrocketed. The Major cities had become Hives; great masses of land dominated by large gothic spires. Factories that belched smog into the air. Batteries of air-defense cannons point ominiously into the blackened sky. Below the people go about their business. These jungles of steel, cement, plaster, ceramics, and composites are usually surrounded by a massive defensive wall, almost a kilometer in height. Great gargoyles line the tops, along with nests of anti-tank batteries. Giant gatehouses sit tactically along highways. To qualify as a Hive, a city must have a minimum population of 100 Million; Although they are usually far larger than this.

Government Structure
Crown Prince
27 years of age, the Crown Prince was born into a life of Aristocracy. He has lived through the wars with The Macabees, Bisons, Belem, Fluffywuffy, Niancio, Roach Busters, Sigma Octavius, Geforce 4, and Celack. Needless to say, The Crown Prince had seen much conflict, leading many of Artitsa's armies from the front. His actual name is Joseph Diorovich; standing 6'5" and 271lbs, he is by no small measure a diminuative man.
His role within Artitsan Politics up into now has been somewhat minimal and was more of a figurehead than anything else. With Artitsa's entry into Gholgoth, and Artitsa's decline from the light of 'good' he has stepped up. Often considered a polite gentlemen, the Crown Prince is well known for his sword play.
President Dimitri Milosavji
The man who replaced Vladimir Overdanski after his embarrassing arrest for Crimes against Humanity; Dmitri Milosvaji introduced and developed the 'Artitsan Technocracy'. Has spearheaded new alliances, and forged new friendships. Halfway though his third term, he reopened the Foreign Affairs Office. 46 Years of age.

Minister Boris O'Conner
Foreign Minister of Artitsa; A well known Womanizer, forged a Non-Aggression pact with Iuthia. Standing 6'7" and 290lb, it would seem the Artitsan Ministry is exclusively for tall individuals. Boris' traditional attire is a massive cloak of bear fur and decrative armour. Only the Iuthians have seen him otherwise in more personal attire. 54 Years of Age.
