Republika Dnrka, is a republic located east of the country of KARISTAN. The republic was formed by the members of the Karistani political party known as the Democratic Party of Karistan after they were expelled by the new ruling party of Karistan, the NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY. People supporting the DPK who had survived the persecutions of the NSP began to venture eastward and founded a small nation at that time known as the Democratic People's Republic of Karistan. However, as the new nation grows the KARISTANI military began to harass them and forced them to submit to their rule. The premier of the nation, as what their leader is called, objected this order by the Karistanis and instead he built up his forces. The Karistani forces saw this event as a declaration of war and began to invade the small republic. Even though, the defending forces were vastly outnumbered, they were successful in repelling the invasion for the time being. Over the course of the next year, the invasion forces without any substantial victories were ordered to withdraw from the republic to augment the troops fighting against the forces of the kingdom of FAWZIA. With the invaders now out of the republic, more people began to flee towards their country. The republic began to set up trade with other nations notably the countries of RUSKIN, SMAUG, WIRRAL, and PFENNIGHALBT. As its economy prosper, the republic began to acquire new lands. The government began to introduce new techniques in agriculture. Overtime the government shifted from a communist government into a democratic government. Because of the government type change so as the republic's name, the majority of the members of the new National Assembly voted to change the republic's name into Republika Dnrka which means Democratic Republic in the local language. This name was choosen to reflect the new type of governance in the republic. The new government in the republic was installed officially after the first ever democratic elections in 2377 in which the DPK won most of the 40 seats in the National Assembly.

The chief minister is elected by the members of the assembly for a four year term, co-terminous with their terms of office. He can be removed from office by the majority number of members of the national assembly voting to do so. The national assembly creates laws but it is not enforced unless the premier gives his assent.
