Kodiak [koʊ-di-'æk], the Kodiak Republic, or TKR; officially the Serene Republic of Kodiak, is a liberal democracy located in the west of the Maxtopian Penninsula. Kodiak is just under 1,000,000 km² and has a population of about 100 million. Its capital is centrally located at Rykkburgh and the largest city is Duckburg. There is no official language but all government business is done in English.
Previously a monarchy under the dynasty Bromannikha, a popular revolution preceded the proclamation of the Republic of Kodiak in a large break-away portion of the country on 01 September 457. The remaining lands of the Bromannikhan Kingdom (often referred to as the Last Kingdom) slowly and peacefully integrated into the Kodiak Republic over thirty years, completing the process in 488.

Political Parties
- For a list of political parties, see Political parties in the Kodiak Republic
Political Parties have been legal in the Kodiak Republic since the year 639, after a decision by the Seathenia Provincial Court declared political organisation a right under Article 4 of the Constitution. Attempts at official parties existed prior to this ruling, but none held any meaningful influence. Only the DLPK existed both before and after the ruling, but was disbanded after poor electoral performance in 642.
Provinces and Constituencies
- For a list of constituencies and their representatives in the General Assembly, see Constituencies of the Kodiak General Assembly
Provinces are large administrative regions within the Kodiak Republic. Each province contains many constituencies that elect a Representative to the General Assembly. In total, there are 200 seats in the General Assembly and hence 200 constituencies of various sizes in Kodiak. A constituency may have up to roughly 350,000 people. Each province also has a provincial capital which serves as the administrative capital of the province and is typically the largest city in the province and represents the central base for local government.
RP Note: Players are elected representatives, however the local government structure and local elections are abstracted in favour of the General Assembly where the national political simulation occurs. Therefore, players may create a constituency in any province and populate details with a wiki page should they desire. Since capitals typically hold very large populations, they may have more than one constituency dividing the city.

Foreign Relations
Full article The World
The Kodiak government holds a cool relationship with the Assembly of Nations, in stark contrast to the general popular opinion which is heavily opposed to the Assembly of Nations (AoN) after nearly 100 years of international quarantine following the outbreak of the Kodiak Flu. While the AoN has invested heavily into programs to rebuild Kodiak, the results have been mixed and the economy continues to struggle to catch up to the international system. As a result, Kodiak has become more integrated with the smaller "United Regions Alliance", an organisation within the AoN which seeks to strengthen middling-economies' power in the face of influence from the global superpowers.
Within this framework, Kodiak has managed to build new relationships with the Republic of Democratia and the Commonwealth of Anteria. Relations with Democratia have been difficult to maintain through their frequent changes in government and foreign policy, but remain friendly. Anteria, being a less organised confederation of semi-sovereign regions, maintains a sound trading and friendship pact with Kodiak. Notably, Kodiak has begun to thaw relations with the United Kingdom after they helped lead the push for Kodiak quarantine, in the hopes of integrating Kodiak into the International Trade Organisastion.
The embassies of the The British Empire, the Empire of Ingocnita, and the Neasmyrnae have been converted into museums since the fall of their respective governments while Kodiak was quarantined.
Military
Full article: Armed Forces of Kodiak
The Kodiak military is in the midst massive downsizing following the conclusion of the Civil War. The military, with advice from the World Assembly, is changing its doctrine and tactics from a top-down directed leadership style to one of emphasizing initiative at the lowest leader level possible. Since the arrival of World Assembly advisers, junior officers have trained in outside military academies, this influence is seen throughout the military from the use of more focus on mission command. The most experienced officers, however, were trained in domestically, and sometimes this diverse experience creates a rift between the senior Kodiak officers and those at the field grade level and below.
The Kodiak Army is authorized 130,000 ground troops divided into four military districts during peacetime. Some of the maneuver brigades are assigned to a division while separate brigades report directly to the district. During wartime, the Army forms regional commands from the Military Districts to control fomrations at the operational levels while Supreme High Command in Rykkburgh continues strategic control and planning.
The Kodiak Navy is authorized 40,000 sailors of all ranks, although this number has fallen short due to a lack of infastructure and opportunities. The country divides control of its navy between the San Chico, Duckberg, and Robingrad Naval Districts, with the overall headquarters in Rykkburgh.
Kodiak Air Force is authorized 50,000 personnel, but struggles to grow ranks due to lack of opportunities for enlisted personnel. The Air Force structure consists of a headquarters in Rykkburgh, three air commands covering the same ground territory as the army commands (North, East, and South, located at Taiping, Mentian, and Astroberg respectively), five fighter squadrons, one ground attack squdron, one bomber squadron, one reconnaissance squadron, three transport squadrons, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) squadron. Assets that the Kodiak air force can use on the battlefield to provide close air support (CAS) to ground forces.
