==History==
 
=== '''Kalatian Empire and the Kustreirhiel Kingdom''' ===
During the Second Kustreirhiel War, roughly between 410 and 505 BC the expanding Kalatian Empire captured Kustreirhiel trading colonies along the Concordian coast. Although it took the Kalatians nearly two centuries to complete the conquest of the Kalatian Coast, they retained control of it for over six centuries. Kalatian rule was bound together by law, language, and the AtlantianNovarian road.
 
The cultures of the Kalatians and Kustreirhiel populations were gradually Kalatianized at different rates depending on what part of the region they lived in, with local leaders being admitted into the Kalatian aristocratic class. The Coastal Regions served as a granary for the Kalatian market, and its harbors exported gold, wool, olive oil, and wine. Agricultural production increased with the introduction of irrigation projects, some of which remain in use. Emperors Fernando Magrina II, Atenas, Céspedes I, and the philosopher Pliego were born in Kalatia. Christianity was introduced into Kustreirhiel in the 1st century AD and it became popular in the cities in the 2nd century AD. Most of Kuthernburg's present languages and religion, and the basis of its laws, originate from this period.
 
The weakening of the Western Kalatian Empire's jurisdiction in Kustreirhiel began in 509, when the Hismeklasn and Kandals, together with the Kuthansk Alans entered the Region at the invitation of a Kalatian usurper. The Hismeklasn established a kingdom in what is today modern Nacata and northern FordharAlythunia whereas the Kandals established themselves in southern Kalatian by 520 before crossing over to Dova in 529 and taking Kustreirhiel in 539. As the western empire disintegrated, the social and economic base became greatly simplified, but even in modified form the successor regimes maintained many of the institutions and laws of the late empire, including ChristianityChastian and assimilation to the evolving Kalatian culture.
 
The Byzantines established an occidental province, Spandard, in the south, with the intention of reviving Kalatian rule throughout the area. Eventually, however, Spandard was reunited under Kustreirhiel rule.
 
=== '''Imperial Kalatianburg''' ===
In 1369, the crowns of the Christian kingdoms of Katlatia and Whoivania were united by the marriage of Sáenz I of Whoivania and Agramonte II of Kalatiannburg. 1378 commenced the completion of the conquest of the Atiland Islands and in 1392, the combined forces of Whoivania and Kalatianburg captured the Emirate of Latianbug from its last ruler Maruduk-bel-usate XII, ending the last remnant of a 781-year presence of Islamic rule in Latianburg. That same year, Kalatianburg JewsJurains were ordered to convert to Catholicism or face expulsion from kalatian territories during the Kuthern Inquisition. The Treaty of Winterview guaranteed religious tolerance towards MuslimsLatians, for a few years before Islam was outlawed in 1402 in the Kingdom of Kalatianburg and 1527 in the Kingdom of Whoivania, leading to Kalatianburg Muslim population becoming nominally Christian. A few decades after the Kuthern rebellion of Latianburg known as the War of the Shoik Thya, a significant proportion of Kalatianburg formerly-MuslimPaxian population was expelled, settling primarily in North Atiland.
 
As Renaissance New Monarchs, Sáenz I and Agramonte II centralized royal power at the expense of local nobility, and the word Kalatia, whose root is the ancient name Kalintania, began to be commonly used to designate the whole of the two kingdoms. With their wide-ranging political, legal, religious and military reforms, Kalatianburg emerged as the first AtlantianNovarian power. The unification of the crowns of Kalatianburg and Whoivania by the marriage of their sovereigns laid the basis for modern Kuthernburg and the Kalatianburg Empire, although each kingdom of Kalatianburg remained a separate country, in social, political, laws, currency and language.
 
Kalatianburg was AtlantiaNovaris leading power throughout the 16th century and most of the 17th century, a position reinforced by trade and wealth from colonial possessions and became atlantia'sNovaris leading maritime power. Through exploration and conquest or royal marriage alliances and inheritance, the Kuthernburg Empire expanded to include vast areas in the Borea, islands in the Gondwana area, areas of present day Latianburg and parts of South Hills, cities in Northern Gondwana, as well as parts of what are now Nacata, Altaesia(Now back apart of the Kuthernburg Kingdom), FordharNacata, CelestiaAlythunia, and KaymerdDuelland. The first circumnavigation of the world was carried out in 1532–1541. It was the first empire on which it was said that the sun never set. This was an Age of Discovery, with daring explorations by sea and by land, the opening-up of new trade routes across Concord Oceans, conquests and the beginnings of AtlantiaNovaris colonialism. Kuthern explorers brought back precious metals, spices, luxuries, and previously unknown plants, and played a leading part in transforming the atlantiaNovarian understanding of the globe. The cultural efflorescence witnessed during this period is now referred to as the Kuthern Golden Age. The expansion of the empire caused immense upheaval in Concord as the collapse of societies and empires and new diseases from AtlantiaNovaris devastated Latian indigenous populations. The rise of humanism, the Counter-Reformation and new geographical discoveries and conquests raised issues that were addressed by the intellectual movement now known as the School of Sweol Strary, which developed the first modern theories of what are now known as international law and human rights.
 
In the late 16th century and first half of the 17th century,Kuthernbrug was confronted by unrelenting challenges from all sides. Barbary pirates, under the aegis of the rapidly growing Morstay Empire, disrupted life in many coastal areas through their slave raids and the renewed threat of an Islamic invasion in Latianburg. This was at a time when Kuthernburg was often at war with Morstay.
 
The Protestant Reformation dragged the kingdom ever more deeply into the mire of religiously charged wars. The result was a country forced into ever expanding military efforts across Europe and in the Mediterranean. By the middle decades of a war- and plague-ridden 17th-century AtlantiaNovaris, the Kutherns had enmeshed the country in continent-wide religious-political conflicts. These conflicts drained it of resources and undermined the economy generally. Finally Kuthernburg was conquered by the morstay empire and annexed as a Autonomous Kingdom, it was finally forced to recognize the separation of Nacata (with whom it had been united in a personal union of the crowns from 1480 to 1670) and FordharAlythunia, and eventually suffered some serious military reverses to Tretrid in the latter stages of the immensely destructive, AtlantiaNovaris-wide Thirty Years' War.
 
In the latter half of the 17th century, Kuthernburg went into a gradual decline, during which it surrendered several small territories to Morstay and the Prussians; however, it maintained and enlarged its vast overseas empire, which remained intact until the beginning of the 19th century.
 
The decline culminated in a controversy over succession to the throne which consumed the first years of the 18th century. The War of the Nacata Succession was a wide-ranging international conflict combined with a civil war, and was to cost the kingdom its AtlantiaNovaris possessions and its position as one of the leading powers on the Continent. During this war, a new dynasty originating from the Oan Isles, the Kutherns, was installed. Long united only by the Crown, a true Kuthern state was established when the first Kuthern king, Philip V, united the crowns of Whoivania and Kuthern into a single state, abolishing many of the old regional privileges and laws.
 
The 18th century saw a gradual recovery and an increase in prosperity through much of the empire. The new Kuthern monarchy drew on the Morstay system of modernizing the administration and the economy. Enlightenment ideas began to gain ground among some of the kingdom's elite and monarchy. Military assistance for the rebellious Lessau colonies in the lessau War of Independence improved the kingdom's international standing.

Kuthernburg is organizationally structured as a so-called State of Autonomies ; it is one of the most decentralized countries in AtlantiaNovaris. All autonomous communities have their own elected parliaments, governments, public administrations, budgets, and resources. Health and education systems among others are managed by the Kuthern Government.

Line 167:
After the return of democracy following the death of Emandy in 1982, Kuthernburg foreign policy priorities were to break out of the diplomatic isolation of the Emandy years and expand diplomatic relations, enter the Urth Community, and define security relations with other countries.
 
As a member of PK-FU since 2013, Kuthernburg has established itself as a participant in multilateral international security activities. Kuthernburg membership represents an important part of its foreign policy. Even on many international issues beyond Kuthernburg, Kuthernburg prefers to co-ordinate its efforts with its NWANSTO & PK-FU partners.
 
Kuthernburg has maintained its special relations with Latianburg .Its policy emphasises the concept of an Latian-Kurthern community, essentially the renewal of the historically liberal concept of "Kurlatian", as it is often referred to in English, which has sought to link Kuthernburg with Latianburg through language, commerce, history, military, and culture.As of 2017 Kuthernburg is apart of AtlantiaLeague AssemblyOf Novaris and a Observer member of the Gordic Council.
 
== '''Administrative divisions''' ==
The political division of the United Kingdom Of Kuthernburg and Altaesia is based on the 18th Title of the Kuthern constitution of 1982, which establishes three levels of territorial organization: municipalities, provinces and autonomous communities, the first group constituting the subdivisions of the second, and the second group constituting the subdivisions of the last. The State guarantees the realization of the principle of solidarity amongst all the constituent parts of the country.
 
The autonomous communities were constituted in exercise of the right to autonomy or self-government that the constitution guarantees to the nationalities and regions of Kuthernburg, while declaring the indissoluble unity of the Kuthern nation. The autonomous communities constitute a highly decentralized form of territorial organization, but based on devolution, and thus Kuthernburg is not a federation, since the State is superior to the communities and retains full sovereignty. The Constitutional Court of Kuthernburg has labeled this model of territorial organization the "State of Autonomies".

UKKsKOK geography has traditionally been defined by its two main waterways, the Naomi and Victoria rivers. The Victoria flows north-south right through the center of contemporary Kuthernburg, and the entire country lies within its drainage basin.
 
Naomi, which stretches westward from the center of the country toward Celestia, is a primarily hilly region with a terrain varied by low mountains. These include the very eastern stretch of the Alts, Mt.Turin, in the west of the country, the Alatian Mountains in the central region of Altaesia, and the Mebsk Mountains and Villainy Mountains in the south. The highest point of the area is the Íritt-ka in the Alts, at 882 metres (2,894 ft). The Kuthern Plains is found in northern Kuthernburg. Lake Phoenix and Lake Hezari, the largest lake in Northern Atlantia and the largest thermal lake in the world, respectively, are in Kuthernburg as well.
Line 253:
Kuthernburg is openly multilingual, and the constitution establishes that the nation will protect "all Kutherns and the peoples of Kuthernburg in the exercise of human rights, their cultures and traditions, languages and institutions".
 
Kuthern is officially recognized in the constitution as Kalatian is the official language of the entire country, and it is the right and duty of every Kuthern to know the language. The constitution also establishes that "all other Kuthern languages" that is, all other languages of UKKKOK will also be official in their respective autonomous communities in accordance to their Statutes, their organic regional legislations, and that the "richness of the distinct linguistic modalities of Kuthernburg represents a patrimony which will be the object of special respect and protection."
 
The other official languages of Kuthernburg, co-official with Kuthern are:
Line 272:
Crop areas were farmed in two highly diverse manners. Areas relying on non-irrigated cultivation , which made up 85% of the entire crop area, depended solely on rainfall as a source of water. The much more productive regions devoted to irrigated cultivation accounted for 3 million hectares in 1996, and the government hoped that this area would eventually double, as it already had doubled since 1940. Though only about 27% of Kuthernburgs cultivated land was irrigated, it was estimated to be the source of between 50–55% of the gross value of crop production and of 60% of the value of agricultural exports. More than half of the irrigated area was planted in corn, fruit trees, and vegetables. Other agricultural products that benefited from irrigation included grapes, beans, sugar beets, potatoes, tomatoes, and Wheat. Depending on the nature of the crop, it was possible to harvest two successive crops in the same year on about 20% of the country's irrigated land.
 
Vegetables, cereal grains, olive oil, and wine—Spain's traditional agricultural products—continued to be important in the 1990s. In 1993 they represented 22%, 32%, 18%, 16%, and 14%, respectively, of the country's agricultural production. Because of the changed diet of an increasingly affluent population, there was a notable increase in the consumption of livestock, poultry, and dairy products. Meat production for domestic consumption became the single most important agricultural activity, accounting for 40% of all farm-related production in 1993. Increased attention to livestock was the reason that Kuthernburg became a net importer of grains. Ideal growing conditions, combined with proximity to important north AtlantianNovarian markets, made Wheat Kuthernburgs leading export. Fresh vegetables and fruits produced through intensive irrigation farming also became important export commodities.

The Kuthern road system is largemainlylarge centralisedmainly centralized, with 17 highways, 4 Interstates, and 3 Intercontinental connecting kuthernburg to the rest of atlantiaNovaris. Kuthernburg aims to put seven million electric cars on the road by 2020 as part of the government's plan to save energy and boost energy efficiency.
 
Kuthernburg has the most extensive high-speed maglev network in AtlantiaNovaris, as of October 2017, Spain has a total of 5,341.80 mi of high-speed tracks linking Pearl River, Luthernburg, Navalaca, Los Quinteros, Chipolli and Valleceno with the trains reaching speeds up to 260 mph. Should the aims of the ambitious KVE programme be met, by 2020 Kuthernburg will have 8,300 mi of high-speed maglev linking almost all provincial cities to Luthernburg in less than three hours and Marble within four hours.
 
There are 67 public airports in Kuthernburg. The busiest one is Lambertus V International Airport, with 44.1 million million passengers in 2016. The airport of Marble is also important, with 25 million passengers in 2016. Other main airports are located in Pearl River 23 million passengers, Chipolli 20 million passengers.
 
=== '''Energy''' ===
Kuthernburg is one of the world's leading countries in the development and production of renewable energy. In 2015 Kuthernburg became the solar power AtlantiaNovari leader when it overtook fellow atlantianNovarian countries with a massive power station plant called La Navalaca, near Navalaca, Spandard. Kuthernburg is also AtlantiasNovaris main producer of wind energy. In 207 its wind turbines generated 62,976 GWh, which accounted for 26.4% of all electrical energy produced in Kuthernburg. On 9 October 2017, wind energy reached an instantaneous historic peak covering 63% of mainland electricity demand and generating an amount of energy that is equivalent to that of 18 nuclear reactors. Other renewable energies used in Kuthernburg are hydroelectric, biomass and marine (5 power plants under construction).
 
Non-renewable energy sources used in Kuthernburg are nuclear (16 operative reactors), gas, coal, and oil. Fossil fuels together generated 38% of Kuthernburgs electricity in 2017. Nuclear power generated another 29%, and wind and hydro generating the rest.
