The Viceroyalty of the Two Martyrs (Sangunese: 二人殉教者総督省, translit.: Futari Junkyōsha Sōtokushō?, Saxon: Vizekönigreich der beiden Märtyrer) is a demesne of Natopia. Historically known as Walstadt, Wahlstadt or Kujirashi (鯨市), "whale city", its economy is largely based on whaling and fishing. Mar Sara is a dependency of the Two Martyrs. Together, they are often called the Mar Sara-Mar-Asara Cooperative when needed to differentiate the role Two Martyrs and Mar Sara have together and what roles the Two Martyrs has on its own.

It is organized in four provinces, the Province of Asara Eliana (historically the Principality of Walstadt) which includes the demesne's territory on the south eastern-corner of the Cibolan mainland (except Volksburg) and Province of the Jazâ'ir an-Noor (translated as Islands of Light, or Islands of Noor; historically the Principality of Light), and Monovia (located along the southern coast of Cibola, including two islands), and finally, Volksburg, a province and lordship of its own.

History

Reign of Elijah (1592–1598)

Reign of Sisera (1598–1601)

Reign of Heinrich (1601-1602)

Reign of Ishmael Todochev (1602–1616)

Reign of Nathaniel (1616-1618)

Reign of Jonathan (1618–1624)

Reign of Ludwig (1624–1638)

Ludwig von Blutwasser is adopted by Mirza Jonathan Merlingsson Ayreon-Kalirion, the Prince of Kujirashi-Walstadt. After the death of his adoptive father in 1624, Ludwig ascends the throne. At the time, the demesne's legislative powers are held by the House of Nobility, which is unlikely to support his agenda. Luckily for Ludwig, he has twenty-seven children who he all gives titles to create a family majority in the House of Nobility. With this newfound majority, the Prince swiftly introduced a new Instrument of Government, in which all legislative power was moved to the Prince, with the House of Nobility only becoming an advisory council.

Rule of Adam and Noor (1638–1645)

Adamic rule (1645–1647)

1647–1648: Fall of Walstadt

Main article: Fall of Walstadt.

Two Martyrs (1648–present)

Lordships

The territory of the demesne is carved up into various lordships. Land is owned only by lordships, the people living on them are tenants or leaseholders. In most cases, a lordship consists of a manor (with the same name as the lordship), and a village for the workers of the estate and related businesses (clinic, schools, shops, specialized businesses, etc.). Inland, the estates generally derive their income from mining, quarrying, and, in some cases, hunting. While coastal lordships often have the same opportunities, they can also derive their income from the sea in terms of fishing and harvesting other sea animals (excepting whaling, which is under the monopoly of the Saint Andre Trading Company).

The lordships of AsaraburgAsarashi, VolksburgHitoshi, Lichtstadt-Kōkei, Genf, Zürich, and Bern, are urbanized. These lordships derive their income from tenancies and leases (which is generally considered a type of tax for local municipal services). In order to move from one lordship to one another, one requires the consent of the lordship to which one seeks to move. In most cases, this is a matter of formality.

Lordships are legally one indivisible corporation vested in its lord. While it cannot be carved up, it can be sold, traded, and inherited – for as long as the new owner is one physical person. In practice, lordships are kept in the family, inherited by usual rules of primogeniture.

Vacant lordships have the viceregal government as its lord, though profits must be reinvested in the lordship in question.

Geography

Society

The Two Martyrs consider Sangunese and Saxon its two national languages. They are equal to one another in all respects. Of the population, roughly 45% has Sangunese as its native language, 40% Saxon, 5% Batavian (mainly in the Volksburg area), and 5% other languages as a native language. Istvanistani is the language of cross-culture communication, as it is considered neutral.

The two main cultural groups of the demesne, the Sangunese (often calling themselves Kujirashijin) and the Saxons (calling themselves Walstädters) have historically had a bad relationship with one another. Consequently, they tend not to intermingle with one another unless necessary. They have their own schools, cultural organizations, and labour in the lordships is often organized on linguistic grounds.

The economy of the demesne is dependent on fishing, whaling, quarrying, and mining. Under the Caprine Code, "The right to conduct whaling operations from the Viceroyalty of the Two Martyrs is invested in the Saint Andre Trading Company (SATCo) as sole proprietor of the operation in perpetuity." This means that the largest employer in the demesne is the Saint Andre Trading Company. Whalers are almost all organized in the union-cum-political party Association of Whalers and Fishermen of Walstadt and Light (AWFWL), which is the largest organization in the demesne.

Football

There are a few cultural things that bring the cultural groups together, one is the shared joy of football (often including mixed cultural/linguistic teams), where usually a lordship would sponsor the local team in an effort to foster a sense of local patriotism and shared identity. It is mainly through football that local identities in the Two Martyrs are developed – other identities generally late to one's ethnic, linguistic, cultural, or professional background (a local saying goes: "My ancestors, all blacksmiths, elected me blacksmith" taken from a poem by Zait Gaist).
