After having received permission from the [[Pope]], in the middle of October, it was announced that Telucti Cheveyo would be crowned the King of Quetzenkel. Cheveyo's coronation in the relatively small mission church in Akwesasne, now dubbed the Cathedral of St. John of the Cross, was overseen by King [[Riordan VIII]] of Urcea. Crowned King [[Telucti I]] of Quetzenkel, the new King controversially did homage to Riordan as [[Emperor of the Levantines]], sparking debate in international circles of the degree of independence Quetzenkel should be regarded with. Following the establishment of the Kingdom, Cheveyo began a Christianization program, inviting missionaries from Levantia, and also began rigorous infrastructure construction and repair programs using aid money from Urcea. Advised by experts from Levantia, King Telucti I began a top-to-bottom legal and political reform of the country in order to bring its governing apparatus more in line with the nations of [[Sarpedon]] and [[Levantia]]. He also began a partial liberalization of the economy, reducing former guild privileges and barriers to trade. | After having received permission from the [[Pope]], in the middle of October, it was announced that Telucti Cheveyo would be crowned the King of Quetzenkel.

Quetzenkel was invaded by [[Varshan]] as part of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], but King Telucti's reforms and support of other [[NSTA]] members lead to a largely successful defense of the country especially due to the Varshani prioritization of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]]. [[Urcea]]'s [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] joined the Quetzeni Royal Defense Force in repelling the Varshani invasion during the [[Quetzenkel front]], and subsequently used the country as a main avenue of invasion in the lead up to the [[Fall of Anzo]]. In March [[2024]], the eastern half of former [[Cetsencalia]] was returned to Quetzenkel by the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] under Urcean pressure and in exchange for recognition of Veltorine gains in [[Varshan]]. Quetzenkel was also awarded additional territories from Varshan at the conclusion of the war in the [[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)|Treaty of Electorsbourg]], both because some lands were predominantly Quetzen-speaking but also to create an additional defensive buffer against future Varshani aggression. | Quetzenkel was invaded by [[Varshan]] as part of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], but King Telucti's reforms and support of other [[NSTA]] members lead to a largely successful defense of the country especially due to the Varshani prioritization of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]].

The end of the war saw significant economic investment flow into the country, as foreign investors saw the victorious Quetzenkel as a safe and reliable investment. In [[2016]], the GDP PC had sat at $4,001, one of the poorest places in the world; by [[2030]], this had grown to $16,189, representing a nearly 11% annual GDP growth. By [[2026]], as the economy was growing and the military crisis had passed, Telucti began to step back and allow the elected leaders of the country to operate within the established constitutional framework. As such, he proclaimed an end to the state of emergency that had existed since the implementation of the Constitution on 3 March [[2026]]. The state of emergency had empowered the King with significant executive authority, and the end of that state signalled the beginning of constitutional governance and a return of power to the Chancellor and legislature. | The end of the war saw significant economic investment flow into the country, as foreign investors saw the victorious Quetzenkel as a safe and reliable investment.
