History

Pre-Dotrugan Period

Before Ethanthovans settled into Northern Lysteriok, tribal groups existed throughout Tutono. They migrated from Bielosia 30-40 thousand years ago. Very few tribes, such as the Okan Tribe, were rather ahead of their time when it came to culture, government, and science. They developed advanced astronomical tools, quality medicine, and a system of checks and balances.

The Okan Confederacy

The Okan Tribe, simply known as Oka, thrived in the lush, forested areas of Southern Dotruga around 5 thousand years ago. Their increasing understanding of nature, advanced government structure, and medicine helped the Okani spread their influence and power across many tribes in Dotruga. Their religion was solely based on the idea of "helping" non-followers with the sole purpose of cleansing their soul with new information and enlightening them about the New Realm. The Okans believed that their knowledge, intelligence, and sole niche was a gift from their god, Nugota. Instead of aggressive conquering, they taught local tribes about the nature of Universalis, Space, and their religion. Most tribes embraced the knowldege and joined the effort. Others fiercely rejected their ideas and even threatened them. In 749 BC, the Okan Confederation was formed, comprising of Oka, Iklo, Somota, Umer, and other tribes. The Okan Confederacy continued expanding and developing, until it formed what was the Okan Empire.

The Okan Empire

The first elected Emperor, Danosus I, made the Okan Empire a cultural haven. He designed many architectural blueprints to be built in the capital city, most of which are still intact today and are popular tourist destinations.

Government

Dotruga's government is composed of two branches: the judicial branch and the administrative branch. Both branches are maintained with checks and balances, so one does not become more powerful than the other. The Administrative Branch, which is further divided into the 3 Chiefs and the Senate, is responsible for creating and and implementing laws. The Judicial Branch is responsible for checking laws to see if they abide by the constitution and 11 Codes of Law.

Politics

There are two main political parties that exist in Dotruga: Vu Dotraxi (The Nationals) and Vu Oberhi (The Progressors). These two parties combined make up about 64 percent of the Senate.

Culture

Dotruga hosts a prominent culture and a variety of traditions that come from other cultures. Mainly composed of Dotrugan traditions, the country stems its values from the ancient Okan people who lived a few thousand years ago. The country also has a lot of Ethanthovan traditions from early settlers who emigrated to Tutono.
