Kingdom of Teratai Kepulauan, commonly known as Lotus Kingdom, KTK or Teratai, is an absolute monarchy in South East Asia, encompassing the islands of Bali and West Nusa Tengarra.
History[edit | edit source]
Destruction of Indonesia[edit | edit source]
After the great flood of ~2050 the lesser Sunda Islands seemed to be on the brink of disappearing, which caused mass panic and evacuation, leaving only the brave (or stupid) behind. The newly formed tribes were cut off from the rest of the world and regressed sociologically as well as technologically.
Treaty of Teratai Unity[edit | edit source]
The regional wars between tribes eventually ended in unification under the Lotus Tribe led by Lotus Raja Arschkuh II in the year 2112 with the signing of Treaty of Teratai Unity. In the following 40 years, local economy has flourished, technology has come to the level of early 20th century and the outlook is very positive for the Terataise.
Government[edit | edit source]
The Lotus King Raja Nyom I, came into power in the year 2135 after the death of his father Lotus Raja Arschkuh II, reserves all executive power in the nation. His most trusted advisers are Lotus Rata Kalika IV, the right hand Lotus Kanan Sisi Nusa and Head of Lotus Farming Surga Petani Pohon. The right hand has the power of representation in case of Raja's absence, while the Head of Lotus Farming is in charge of national economy issues.
