Miktar

Miktar is a county in Dorvik.

Geography
Miktar is located on the southwest coast of Dorvik. It shares its southern border with the Kirlawan province of Uwakah. It is relatively rural, with agriculture very dominant. It is the most isolated of the counties of Dorvik, as there are no favorable currents offshore and the road system was only recently developed. Thus, the people of Miktar are fiercely independent, and often look to the clergy as the leading power instead of the government.

History
Miktar was inhabited by the Dorvin people of Atria. Although nominally part of the Kingdom of Dorvik since the early 1300s, it has not participated much in higer levels of government. Because of its isolation, some strongly religious people in Dorvik believe that its people are the most genetically pure Dorvins. (This belief is often in opposition to the pan-Dorvik heritage views of Lord Alexander Piso.)

Politics
Miktar is often considered the most conservative county, and is a bastion of the Free People Party. All Senate members from Miktar in the most recent elections belonges to the FPP.
