History: Altınkale

+ # Altınkale

+ **Altınkale** — "the golden fortress" — is a maritime state of beys, viziers and janissaries.

+

+ ## Government

+

+ The state is ruled by the **bey**; his chief adviser is the **vizier**. Decrees and news are published by the newspaper *Altınkale Bugün*.

+

+ ## The Tartarian campaign

+

+ On 20 May 2026 a detachment of janissaries landed on the shore of Tartaria, a small village to the north. They met no resistance — by the vizier's account, a lone fisherman and a couple of sheep. A capitulation was signed, Tartaria was demilitarised and entered the state under a new name: [[sinirdagi|Sınırdağı]], "the border mountain".

+

+ The plans for the new lands: a fortified port for the whole fleet, and a new centre closer to the sea.

+

+ ## Neighbours

+

+ A canal being built by [[katurey|Katurey]] will give Altınkale a direct water route to its western neighbour.
