'''Hirdirekten''', formally known as the '''Duchy of Hirdirekten''', is a constituent state within [[Arkalarius]] ruled by the von Heuslen family. A landlocked state, the duchy's economy is mostly driven by its proximity to nearby large cities. It is a hub for agriculture, heavy industry, and resource extraction
== History ==
Hirdirekten's ruling house originates from the town of Heuslen in [[Ethalria (Disambiguation)|Ethalria]], though its precise date of origin is a matter of some dispute. For some time, the von Heuslens were a minor part of Ethalrian nobility, and left their meagre holdings there in search of greater fortunes when Ethalria colonized what would become Arkalarius.
=== Post Revolution ===
The Duchy, under the rule of Horst von Heuslen, would aid the Principality of Deichland in its unsuccessful attempt to put down the [[Deichlander Revolution]] in 1848.
=== Arkian Revolutionary War ===

=== Arkian Civil War ===
During the [[Arkian Civil War]], the Duchy found itself near the frontlines with republican [[West Arkalarius]]. The fiercely conservative and traditionalist duchy, now lead by Herzog Karl von Heuslen, fought in support of the [[Arkian Empire]] during the war.
== Government ==

Hirdirekten is effectively kept under the absolute rule of the House of von Heuslen , with many government posts doled out to various family members. The General Assembly serves as a local legislature, but is itself heavily influenced by corporate entities and clerical institutions. Herzog Karl von Heuslen is the current ruler of the Duchy.
