Mekedesh: Difference between revisions

Mekedesh has historically been one of the centres of Packilvanian civilisation. Mekedesh has been a part of Packilvania since its was conquered by [[Iktan the Devout]] of the [[Iktanite dynasty]] since the 7th century CE. Unlike many other provinces which had local rulers and vassals, Mekedesh was directly administered by the ruling dynasty except during the interregnum when various small principalities formed some of which were under the suzerainty of a greater power. The Principality of Tashkar which was centered on the modern day city of Tashkar was the home of the second Packilvanian dynasty, the [[Zubraynite dynasty]] which ruled until Mekedesh was conquered by the [[Demirite dynasty]] in the 17th century. It was one of the first provinces to fall to human rule and the first to come under the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] when [[Zerah Demir IV]] was deposed.

In step with its history under the rule of the Imperial Government, Mekedesh is seen is one of the more archetypal provinces of Packilvania in that it closely mirrors the policy objectives of the Imperial Government in decision making unlike [[Fidakar]] and [[Ashura]] which have a penchant for resisting. Unlike the Meer of [[Iganar]] who has relatively little influence of the running of Iganar, the Mekedesh, the Meer of Mekedesh exercises more authority and is a conduit through which the [[Sultan of Packilvania|Sultan]] exercises his influence. Mekedesh tends to be highly centrist and pragmatist in the political ideals of its political establishment as well as everyday people. Mekedesh is seen as a middle way between the religiosity and conservatism of Ashura and Iganar and the liberalism of Fidakar. Unlike [[Jumhurikesh]] which is highly regionalist and tribalist in its political character, Mekedesh is highly unified, with its dialect of Packilvanian also being the [[Packilvanian language|official language of Packilvania]].
