'''Grajnidar''', officially the '''Kingdom of Grajnidar''', is a Constitutional Monarchy located in southern [[Sarpedon]]. While the nation shares a maritime border in the Natiserve Bay with the Krasoa Islands, belonging to [[Kiravia]], its only land neighbor is [[Aciria]], which is located to the north of the country. Covering an area of more than 1,2 million km² and hosting a population of nearly 80 million, the nation is made of 3 historical states, now provinces, which are further divided into 25 regions. There's a relatively big disparity between the quality of life of different parts of the country, with the more south-eastern regions usually scoring much higher than the rest of the country in many statistics.


Different people, different culture, located on the edge of the world, Grajnidar was a fairly mysterious place to other nations throughout the history. It is one of the very few nations which have never ever been under any foreign power's rule, mostly thanks to its geographically blessed location and the historical battle abilities of its people. Grajnidar usually played the third side in many international conflicts, simply aiming for nothing more than to profit. This has turned Grajnidarens into somewhat not-trustworthy in the eyes of other nationalities.  
'''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.


The city of Minvras, while being the national capital, is not the largest or even the most populated city in the country. This imaginary throne belongs to [[Kralank]], an enormous mountainous metropolis in the eastern part of 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]].
== Name ==
[[Category:Countries]]
Historically, before the Kingdom of Grajnidar, the nation was called the Grajni Realm. 'Grajni' being a mix of the names of the 2 ethnic groups of the Realm, Gralju and Jniten. 'Dar' means 'land' in New Grajni and other south Ganatic languages, and it was added to the name in 1919 simply to differ the newly created Kingdom from its predecessor.


The etymology of Gralju and Jniten is unknown.

=== Great Grajnidaren Raids ===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
The first ever mentions of the Ganatic tribes come from the 6th century, when they entered the continent of Sarpedon as 3 groups of raider tribes - Gralju, Jniten and Vsikit. While these groups were independed from eachother, they cooperated in their raiding efforts and in just 4 years managed to succesfully murder, or simply kick out, all the original inhabitants of roughtly the area that makes today's Grajnidar. When the tribe groups slowly transitioned into tribe federations, giving the leaders more power and allowing easier organisation, these 3 entities cooperated once more and started what is called the Great Grajnidaren Raids. These raids were very successful, as the Grajnidarens had, at the time, fairly advanced gear and weapons and were well-known for their battle abilities. The semi-nomadic federations conquered many areas both in the east, where they were fairly dominant throughout the whole history, but also in the north, mostly in what makes today's Aciria. For some time it really looked like nothing can ever stop them, but then they've met the powers of northern Sarpedon, which quickly put an end to their campaign to the north. After this and many other failures, the federations decided to return and settle to the lands they originally conquered, the Grajnidaren lands...

===First Grajni Realm===
|-
About 2 centuries after the federations settled in the Grajnidaren lands, the cooperation between Gralju and Jnited reached next level. In the early 10th century the 2 federations merged together and created the first centralised Grajnidaren state - the First Grajni Realm. The emperor of this newly created realm Jahanii, later known as Jahanii the Great, was a wise man. He, with his decisions, really united the people and, eventhought the Realm was made of 2 different cultures, created the foundations of  the Grajnidaren national identity. The Realm was not very expansionist under him, as he mostly focused on developing the lands already controlled by it. The same cannot be said about his successor, Milnio. When he took over the Realm after his father's death, he didn't waste any time and immediately started to take actions in order to expand the nation. He, with his strong nationalistic Gralju feel, viewed Jnitens as less valued members of the society and often practised discrimination. Under his reign, Jnitens were kicked out of the ruling elite for simply being Jnitens and after no more than a decade the Realm was exclusively ran by Graljus. Jnitens were of course not happy with these actions and tried to get a man of their own on the throne after Milnio's death. These efforts failed. Till the start of the Acirian War in the 12th century, the Realm was ruled by exclusively Graljus, but the discrimination of Milnio's reign got significantly better over time.

Grajnidar is a fairly authoritarian parliamentary constitutional monarchy. On paper the nation is lead by the Premier Jondar Nakastee from the Grajnidaren Democratic Party (GDP), who serves as the only head of goverment. With the king Ukwar II. from the Muulikartheda dynasty being nothing more than the head of state. But in reality the King has much more power over the goverment. He can decide what laws and changes will pass, and which not. He has control over the whole Grajnidaren diplomacy and often gives 'little tips' to the goverment, which, althought do not officially have to be, are always fully implemented. The Grajnidaren constitution has seen quite a few changes in the past years, slowly giving the King more and more power. And while these changes and the goal of them is quite obvious, no one was ever successful in the efforts of stopping it from happening.

==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"<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!"
===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]], [[Zalgisbeck|the northern metropolis]]' most successful team, although this is far friendlier than the rivalry with Rapid.


The National Parliament is responsible for drafting new laws and handling the state budget, but alone doesn't really have any power, as before a law passes it needs to be checked by the Senate and then the King who has the ability to dismiss anything he doesn't particularly like, which he uses quite often.
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.
 
==Honours==
The National Senate is responsible for overseeing the Parliament and maintaining democracy by making sure nothing violates the constitution. The Senate is supposed to be completely independend, but is currently made out of exclusively royal-associated senators. That is the cause of the recent changes and bending of the constitution in favor of the monarchs.

==Culture==
The Grajdinaren culture is made up from 2 relatively different cultures - the Gralju-Jniten and the Vsikite. The Gralju-Jniten is the culture of the Graljus and Jnitens and is the thing people usually mean by 'Grajdinaren culture'. The Vsikite meanwhile often being forgotten and looked over, as it the culture of Vsikites, a minority group in the country living exclusively in the northern parts. These 2 cultures are of course not that different, as Vsikites are part of the same ethno-linguistic group as the rest of the populace, but the centuries of foreign influence and distancing from the rest of the country have surely had some effects.
=== Gralju-Jniten===
The Gralju-Jniten culture is a very rich culture with almost no foreign influence at all. Till this very day most of the traditions are still alive, mostly in the nation's country-side.
=== Vsikite===
The Vsikite culture, while being Ganatic, was heavily influenced by romance cultures, most notably the French from the neighboring Aciria.
=== Religion===
Grajnidar is a very religious nation. The official and pretty much dominant (88% of the populace) religion is Varheism, which worships the two god siblings - Varskstullu and Varmaakon, sometimes called simply the day and the night. The whole religion comes from the holy texts called 'Rataksi Varheistv' written by prophet Kaarlin, who returned from the Danoc, another world hidden between day and night where every soul goes after death.
==Military==
The military in Grajnidar is split into 2 parts working independently from eachother. The Grajnidaren National Armed Forces and the Grajnidaren Royal Guards. While the Grajnidaren National Armed Forces (GNAF for short) are made of Land, Naval and Air Forces which serve the nation and are the thing people usually mean by 'Grajnidaren military', the Grajnidaren Royal Guards (GRG for short) are made of various elite forces which serve and protect the royal family, the most well-known elite force being the royal guards, from which the whole group is named after. It is said that these 2 groups can, if it is for some reason needed, attack eachother, but it will most likely never happen.
=== Grajnidaren National Armed Forces ===
The Grajnidaren National Armed Forces are made of Grajnidaren Land Forces, Grajnidaren Naval Forces and Grajnidaren Air Forces. It is currently lead by the Chief of the General Staff Miko Akwara. Historically the GNAF has always been a fairly advanced and powerful, although not used too often. In modern day it is mosly specialised at AI, with the Grajnidaren attack drones being one of the best in the world.

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.

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!"
