History
The period around the turn of the century was one of increasing prosperity, the 20th century brought little peace; Kuthernburg played a minor part in the scramble for Lativna, with the colonisation of present day Latianburg it remained neutral during World War I The heavy losses suffered during the Lativna Invasion in Latiana brought discredit to the government and undermined the monarchy.
A period of authoritarian rule under General Hector Mintro(1925-1931) ended with the establishment of the Kathern Republic. The Republic offered political autonomy to the linguistically distinct regions of Rift Country, Luthernburg and Mintopa and gave voting rights to women.
The Kuthern Civil War broke out in 1936. For three years the Nationalist forces led by General Hector Mintro, fought the Communist side, which was supported by the Population and Latvia. The civil war was viciously fought and there were many atrocities committed by all sides. The war claimed the lives of over 720,000 people and caused the flight of up to a 2 million citizens from the country.In 1939, Communist Revolution emerged victorious and became a dictator getting rid of the queen and the parliament.
With Emandy death in November 1982, Angela Naomi II succeeded to the position of Queen of Kuthernburg and head of state in accordance with the Kurthern law. With the approval of the new kuthern Constitution of 1983 and the restoration of democracy, the State devolved much authority to the regions and created an internal organisation based on autonomous communities. Kuthernburg 1983 Amnesty Law let people of Emandy regime continue inside institutions without consequences, even responsibles of some crimes during transition to democracy like the Massacre of 3 March 1982 in Hinderburg or 1985 Massacre of Mishok.
In the Mintopa County, moderate Kuthern nationalism has coexisted with a radical nationalist movement led by the armed terrorist organisation KTA.The group was formed in 1959 during Emandy rule but has continued to wage its violent campaign even after the restoration of democracy and the return of a large measure of regional autonomy. On 23 February 1987, rebel elements among the security forces seized the refion in an attempt to impose a military backed government. Queen Naomi II took personal command of the military and successfully ordered the coup plotters, via national television, to surrender.
The proportion of Kuthernburg foreign born population increased rapidly from around 1 in 50 in 2000 to almost 1 in 8 in 2010 but has since declined. In 2008 the Kuthernburg government legalised same sex marriage. Decentralisation was supported with much resistance of Constitutional Court and conservative opposition, so did gender politics like quotas or the law against gender violence. Government talks with KTA happened, and the Group announced its permanent cease of violence in 2010.

Politics
The Kuthernburg Constitution of 1983 is the culmination of the Kuthern transition to democracy. The constitutional history of Kuthern dates back to the constitution of 1799. Impatient with the slow pace of democratic political reforms in 1982 and 1983, Kuthernburg new Queen Naomi II, known for her formidable personality, dismissed Aaron Carter and appointed Lúaz Rico Prime Minister.The resulting general election in 1997 were the first time a president was appointed in Kuthernburg History.
As a result, Kuthernburg is now composed of six autonomous communities and three autonomous cities with varying degrees of autonomy thanks to its Constitution, which nevertheless explicitly states the indivisible unity of the Kuthernburg nation. The constitution also specifies that Kuthernburg has no state religion and that all are free to practice and believe as they wish.
Government
Kuthernburg is a constitutional monarchy, with a hereditary monarch and a Royal President. The executive branch consists of a Council of Ministers of Kuthernburg presided over by the Prime Minister, nominated and appointed by the monarch and confirmed by Congress following legislative elections. By political custom established by Queen Naomo II since the ratification of the 1983 Constitution, the queens nominees have all been from parties who maintain a plurality of seats in the Congress.
Human Rights
The Government respects the human rights of its citizens; although there are a few problems in some areas, the law and judiciary provide effective means of addressing individual instances of abuse. There are allegations that a few members of the security forces abused detainees and mistreated foreigners and illegal immigrants.According to Kuthernburg International (KI), government investigations of such alleged abuses are often lengthy and punishments were light. Violence against women was a problem, which the Government took steps to address.
Kuthernburg provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT community. Among the countries studied by Limptoo Research Center in 2013, Kuthernburg is top in acceptance of homosexuality, with an 88% of society supporting the gay community compared to 11% who do not.
Foreign Relations
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 2016, 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 NWA & 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.
