'''Kartika''' is the capital city of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] and of the [[District of Coīnvra]]. Established for the express purpose of housing the federal government in 210XX, Kartika is the seat of the [[Federal Stanora]] and the [[Federal Consistory|Consistorial Court]], and [[Executive College]], as well as the official residence of the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy|Prime Executive]] and administrative headquarters of most Federal agencies. Its metropolitan area, referred to as the "Federal Capital Region" includes the remainder of the District of Coīnvra and extends far into southern [[Hanoram]] and northern [[Ventarya]]. The presence of the Federal government has turned the Federal Capital Region into a hub for the defence, aerospace, biomedical, consulting, information technology, legal, and governmental-relations industries. While the Kartika Metro Area is not Kiravia's largest, it is consistently ranked as its wealthiest and best-educated.
'''Fußball-Klub Frehmenwerther Kickers e.V. 1908''', commonly known as simply '''Frémenwerder Kickers''', '''EffKah''' or '''FKFK''', is a football club based in [[Frehmenwerth|Frémenwerd]], the capital city of [[Hendalarsk]], which competes in the [[Hendalarskaras Bundesliga]], the top domestic division in the country. Founded as ''Fussballspielgesellschaft „Frehmenwerther-Kickers-Klub“ e.V. 1908'', the club adopted its current name in 1929, with the substitution of "Fußball" for "Fussball" in 1973 the only change of note in that time. The club plays at the [[FK-FK-Arena]] in central Frémenwerd and has done so since 1929; this central location has historically made expansion of the ground difficult, but it is now one of the largest stadia in the country.
 
Frémenwerder Kickers were a founder member of the Hendalarskaras Bundesliga and have never been relegated from the division, one of very few clubs to hold that distinction. They are also the most successful team in the division's history, having won the title on 26 occasions between 1931 and 2025 and dozens of cups. They retain a fierce rivalry with [[Rapid-Frehmenwerth]], perennial challengers for major honours, as well as with smaller Frémenwerd clubs such as [[Wiktoría Frémenwerd]] and [[Kunyeria Wremenverda]].


==History==
==History==
Prior to Coscivian colonisation, the lower Koīn River valley was inhabited by the Yàpi (Gàdamyàpi) tribe. The Gàdamyàpi were violently displaced from the area during the {{H:title|1070s AD|20250s}} by Coscivians, who established large manorial estates on either side of the river, which formed the boundary between the Imperial provinces of Venterya on the right bank and Hanoram on the left. [Main plantations and names]. As with the rest of the Míhanska Bay region during the colonial period, commerce was mainly conducted by merchant ships sailing to ports on the bay and up its many inlets, estuaries, and navigable rivers to trade directly with the manorial villages. Market towns were slow to appear, and were rather few and far between. The first reasonably urban settlement in the area, and indeed, the first incarnation of Kartika, was a fort established in {{H:title|1182 AD|20282}} to secure the river confluence and serve as a military and administrative base for control of the Ventarya-Hanoram backcountry. Dedicated to Emperor Kartik IV, the fort began as a series of wooden palisades and earthworks, which in {{H:title|1188 AD|20288}} began to be improved with masonry. However, the improvements were still unfinished in 20291 when catastrophic flooding destroyed most of Fort Kartik. The fort would proceed to be destroyed and rebuilt at least six times over the course of its history by flood, fire, and powder magazine mishaps.

A small trading town called Éamonsar was founded on more stable ground just northwest of Fort Kartik in 20355 (1175 AD), and the fortified town of Arþodun was built on the Ventaryan right bank of the Koīn in [YEAR].

At the time of the establishment of the [[Confederal Republics of Kiravia]] Kartika was a mere {{wp|hamlet}} of 22 houses scattered among and around the half-ruined fortifications. The Founding Fathers of the Confederal Republics agreed that while [[Valēka#Cantons|West Valēka]] would be the seat of the Confederal Stanora (standing legislative body), Executive College, military command, and judiciary, the ''Ɣaramduv'', a legislative body assembled at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes chiefly for the purpose of passing a budget, would meet somewhere in the Míhanska Bay region. By agreement between Ventarya and Hanoram, one of the two sessions each year would be held in Arþodun and the other in Éamonsar. The ''Ɣaramduv'' began holding its Hanoram-side sessions in Kartika in [YEAR] after being run out of the much nicer nearby town of Éamonsar for bad behaviour. It budgeted itself funds for the construction of a proper meeting hall there, and Kartika would go on to accrete further government-related facilities and attendant shops and taverns over the course of the Confederal Period, though it remained an otherwise unremarkable Baylands small town.

When the [[Constitutional History of Kiravia|new Fundamental Statute was adopted]], ushering in the Kiravian Federal Republic and the Federal Era of Kiravian history, Valēka had emerged as the unchallenged economic and cultural capital of Kiravia, and it was agreed that the country was in need of a new political capital to prevent centralisation of power in a single city and state. As part of this process, Kartika, Éamonsar, and Arþodun, along with a pentagonal area of the surrounding countryside, were (consensually) excised from their respective states to form the federally-administered [[District of Coīnvra]]. It was at this point that Kartika was first formally chartered as a municipal entity. An intensive effort in civil engineering and urban planning followed, involving riverbank reinforcement, swamp drainage, and the construction of grand(ish) edifices to house the precious organs of the federal government.

==Layout & Urban Planning==
| 2|| DF|| [[Fearghal Ó Dochartaigh]]|| {{flag|Faneria}}
Kartika is more or less a {{wp|planned city}}, having lain largely abandoned between 2XXXX and its selection as the federal capital in 2XXXX. Its original planners hoped to emulate the majesty and elegance of Era, the historic capital of Imperial Coscivia, while avoiding the sanitary problems, overcrowding, and periodic urban decay that came along with the ancient city's centuries of poorly-managed growth. In the words of  Ergastur Ænórvinden, who oversaw the construction of the Federal Quadrangle, "It was important that the physical form of this city embody and legitimise the government that would rule from it. Continuity with the Empire was a necessity, but so too was the idea that in Kiravia the Coscivian race could and would begin anew, applying and improving upon their inheritance on the shores of a virgin land."

| 3|| DF || [[Aonghus MacNéill]]|| {{flag|Faneria}}
As such, Kartika has always been a comparatively open city: Large swathes of its area are reserved as public parks, arboreta, sculpture gardens, and courtyards. Wide avenues and public walkways decrease congestion in the city's highest-traffic areas. Unusually for a major Kiravian city, Kartika's skyline is devoid of skyscrapers (no buildings exceed 12 stories), and sunlight (however obscured it normally is by the wet weather) is reaches the streets and windows with little obstruction. These conditions, combined with the lack of heavy industry and the large number of iconic and architecturally impressive monuments, statues, and government edifices populating the cityscape have resulted in Kartika being widely considered the most beautiful of the Federacy's large cities.

==Government==
|-
From its refounding, Kartika has been an independent city within the District of Coīnvra, and is administratively separate from the surrounding Coīnvra Countyship and the adjacent City of Éamonsar. The municipal legislature is the City Council (Kiravic: ''Saarkovar''), which comprises six seats for each electoral ward and two at-large seats. The entire council is subject to biennial reëlection. The city's chief executive is the Provost, elected triennially. Political parties are banned in the District of Coīnvra, and all candidates must stand as independents.

|-
==Economy==
| 22|| DF|| [[Uwe Bauer]]|| {{flag|Eldmora}}
Affectionately referred to as "Kiravia's oldest, biggest company town", Kartika's economy revolves almost entirely around governance. The federal government is the largest employer in the city, with the District of Coīnvra government a distant second. Thousands of interest groups, think-tanks, public advocacy groups, media outlets, NGOs, public relations and political management groups, consulting firms, and law and accounting practices intimately involved with politics and policy are based in the Kartika, as are a large number of defence, engineering, insurance, general services, and other corporations that rely heavily on federal contracts.
|-
 
| 23|| DF || [[Símón Kálera]]|| {{flag|Hendalarsk}}
High-end shops, restaurants, hôtels, and drinking establishments cater to the tastes of the Kiravian political and business élite, as well as to that of the city's many foreign visitors. Due to the large annual traffic of business and other travellers to the city, the Kartika metropolitan area has the third-largest hospitality industry in the Federacy, behind the vastly more populous conurbations of Valēka and [[Escarda]].
|-
 
| 24|| DF|| [[Gundemá Adamsón]]|| {{flag|Hendalarsk}}
After [[Valēka]] and [[Saar-Silverda]], Kartika has the highest cost of living of any Kiravian city. Real estate prices are some of the highest in the country, especially in neighborhoods on the upper banks of the Coīnvra River. The high volume of daily commuters into the city puts a premium on housing in the city centre and has driven the growth of {{wp|transit-oriented development|transit-oriented developments}} in the city's outer districts and even more so in the suburbs.
|-
 
| 25|| DF || [[Park Moon-jae]]|| {{flag|Metzetta}}
Although the wider metropolitan area produces aerospace and defence equipment, scientific and medical instruments, and other products, there is very little manufacturing in Kartika proper. Brewing accounts for most of the city's meagre industrial output, with most of the remainder made up by the manufacture of high value-added specialty products, such as dental equipment, upmarket recreational telescopes, and jewellery.

Derisively referred to as a "regime team" by their rivals due to a perceived cosiness with the Hendalarskara government, the Kickers have a history of success and a notably impatient fanbase which demands future success of its managers. The club's ultras, the ''Nordbrigáde'' (so-called because of their traditional position in the FK-FK-Arena's North Stand), are the most fanatical fan group, and during the era of widespread fan disorder that characterised Hendalarskara football in the 1970s were notorious for their conflicts with rival groups. An extremist offshoot of the group, the ''Sonenkämfer'' ("Warriors of the Sun"), were responsible for a string of murders in 1978 and 1979, and their activities have been used by rivals to denounce the team (often cynically) as in some sense existentially right-wing. Recent years have belied this; the club is at the forefront of efforts towards LGBTQ and ethnic minority inclusion in Hendalarskara football. The club's continued success has nevertheless led to a widespread perception that many of its modern fans are "elitist" and/or "plastic"<ref>Joining in order to be associated with success rather than out of any real emotional connection to the club.</ref>, an impression which is hardly helped by former manager and club legend Andréas Hofen's oft-quoted remark "We're not elitist, we treat all our equals with respect - it just so happens that we don't have any equals!"
*'''Federal War Museum -''' A quasi-private museum focused on Kiravian military history.

The most notorious instance of the rivalry remains the final game of the 1991-92 season, when Rapid arrived at the FK-FK-Arena two points behind the Kickers and thereby required a win at the ground of their hated rivals to clinch the league title. Rapid duly won through a 91st-minute free-kick struck by [[Lukas Horstenmeyer]], sparking delirious celebrations among the away contingent and a pitch invasion by the irate home fans which took thousands of security personnel to disperse. The Kickers have nevertheless dominated the 2020s in Hendalarskara football, whereas Rapid have undergone a decline over the same period.

Fußball-Klub Frehmenwerther Kickers e.V. 1908, commonly known as simply Frémenwerder Kickers, EffKah or FKFK, is a football club based in Frémenwerd, the capital city of Hendalarsk, which competes in the Hendalarskaras Bundesliga, the top domestic division in the country. Founded as Fussballspielgesellschaft „Frehmenwerther-Kickers-Klub“ e.V. 1908, the club adopted its current name in 1929, with the substitution of "Fußball" for "Fussball" in 1973 the only change of note in that time. The club plays at the FK-FK-Arena in central Frémenwerd and has done so since 1929; this central location has historically made expansion of the ground difficult, but it is now one of the largest stadia in the country.

Frémenwerder Kickers were a founder member of the Hendalarskaras Bundesliga and have never been relegated from the division, one of very few clubs to hold that distinction. They are also the most successful team in the division's history, having won the title on 26 occasions between 1931 and 2025 and dozens of cups. They retain a fierce rivalry with Rapid-Frehmenwerth, perennial challengers for major honours, as well as with smaller Frémenwerd clubs such as Wiktoría Frémenwerd and Kunyeria Wremenverda.

Club culture

Derisively referred to as a "regime team" by their rivals due to a perceived cosiness with the Hendalarskara government, the Kickers have a history of success and a notably impatient fanbase which demands future success of its managers. The club's ultras, the Nordbrigáde (so-called because of their traditional position in the FK-FK-Arena's North Stand), are the most fanatical fan group, and during the era of widespread fan disorder that characterised Hendalarskara football in the 1970s were notorious for their conflicts with rival groups. An extremist offshoot of the group, the Sonenkämfer ("Warriors of the Sun"), were responsible for a string of murders in 1978 and 1979, and their activities have been used by rivals to denounce the team (often cynically) as in some sense existentially right-wing. Recent years have belied this; the club is at the forefront of efforts towards LGBTQ and ethnic minority inclusion in Hendalarskara football. The club's continued success has nevertheless led to a widespread perception that many of its modern fans are "elitist" and/or "plastic"[1], an impression which is hardly helped by former manager and club legend Andréas Hofen's oft-quoted remark "We're not elitist, we treat all our equals with respect - it just so happens that we don't have any equals!"

Rivalries and alliances

The club's rivalry with Rapid-Frehmenwerth, the Hauptstadsch Derby, is among the most fiercely-contested fixtures in world football; many league seasons have hinged on the outcome of these games, with the momentum and bragging rights gained by the winner just as important as the swing in the standings. The most notorious instance of the rivalry remains the final game of the 1991-92 season, when Rapid arrived at the FK-FK-Arena two points behind the Kickers and thereby required a win at the ground of their hated rivals to clinch the league title. Rapid duly won through a 91st-minute free-kick struck by Lukas Horstenmeyer, sparking delirious celebrations among the away contingent and a pitch invasion by the irate home fans which took thousands of security personnel to disperse. The Kickers have nevertheless dominated the 2020s in Hendalarskara football, whereas Rapid have undergone a decline over the same period. Other rivalries include smaller local derbies with lower-division teams Wiktoria Frémenwerd and Khunyeria Vremenverda. The Kickers also maintain a long-running competitive rivalry with Wiktoría Zalgisbeck, the northern metropolis' most successful team, although this is far friendlier than the rivalry with Rapid.

The club retains a large international following, and its frequent presence in continental competition has sparked both rivalries and friendships abroad, among them a particularly close relationship with the fans of [Yonderian club] - the two clubs frequently host testimonial matches for each others' long-serving players, and competitive continental meetings are almost always an occasion for reunions and mutual respect regardless of results on the pitch.
