Grajnidar

Grajnidar, officially the Kingdom of Grajnidar, is a relatively small Constitutional Monarchy located in southern Sarpedon next to its northern and only neighbour Aciria. It is home to more than 39 million citizens, of which a majority is ethnically Grajnidaren. Kharitanians and Vsikites are considered a minority in the country. Grajnidarens are part of the Ganastic ethno-linguistic group, which remains one of the smallest in the whole world.

The origin of the original Ganastic tribes is unknown, but it has been proved that they do not come from Sarpedon. From the information we have they entered the continent around the 8th century as raiders, but decided to stay in the southern part of the continent because of the rich natural resources and overall good conditions to live. This resulted in the fact that their culture is very different from other Sarpedonian.

The current Grajnidar can be described as a fairly authoritarian constitutional monarchy, with the royal family constantly trying to gain even more power over the country with the goal of getting back to what they call the 'golden age of Grajnidar', when the royals had absolute power over the country (early 20th century). The political parties of Grajnidar, while having all kinds of political positions, can be split into 2 categories/groups. One strongly supporting the royals, the other one strongly opposing. There isn't really any middle ground. While all these things may make it look otherwise, the country is relatively politically stable, as the royals and royal-supporting parties are pretty much dominant on the political theatre.
