New Kingdom of Ethania

The New Kingdom of Ethania (Ethanian: Новоӗ Царство Ӕтхании [literally translated as the "Tsardom of Ethania"], Church Slavonic: Зємлꙗ Єтана [literally translated as "Land of Ethania"), also known as the Tsardom of Ethania, from the Ethanian language, was an absolute monarchy in present-day Ethania and Lithuania. It reigned from 1303 to 1525, when it succumbed to German rule.

History
Before the 1300s, the Sakhab Muslims ruled Ethania under a caliph, with many Christians being persecuted, despite being protected under the law. However, in 1303, an army of Pregolya Cossacks decided to overthrow the caliphate, which was successful. After overthrowing the caliph and his family, the Cossacks deported or killed the remaining Muslims in Ethania. The Cossacks even killed Christian Ethanians of Muslim Sakhab descent in fear they would "return back to their original roots and spread false religion across Ethania". After this was complete, Tsar Nikolai I was appointed to be the first tsar of Ethania.

Languages
Church Slavonic was the primary language of the church and government. It played a dominant role in society and was spoken by the elite. However, it was only used in the church, but many speakers used expressions in Church Slavonic in secular life. Ethanian was the common language and was used in secular life. It was also used if someone didn't speak Church Slavonic. Other languages in the area included V'rana and the Baltic languages.

Religion
The Eastern Orthodox Church was the sole official religion of the New Kingdom of Ethania. Religious freedom was limited in the tsardom, with anyone proclaiming another religion than Christianity, and sometimes even another sect of Christianity, could be put to death or harassed by officials. Muslims and Jews were among the most persecuted.

Ethnic groups
There was no ethnicity demographics at the time, but the majority of the inhabitants were Ethanians, V'rana, and Balts. Romani (Gypsies) and Sakhabs were often enslaved by the elite.

Head of state
The New Kingdom of Ethania was an absolute monarchy, with the tsar as the appointed head of state. The tsar was to make laws, expand the Church, and keep peace in the tsardom. He must be Orthodox Christian and fully capable of speaking Church Slavonic in order to be a tsar. If the old tsar dies, his first-born son must be the successor to the throne unless another family takes over. The tsar's wife was called the tsaritsa.
